Inventory

To ensure you have the critical inventory you need, should the pandemic pose a greater risk, the company is advising customers to contact their local sales person to come up with a contingency plan.
Cleanliness
All staff are being educated on how to best manage the health and safety of their workspace and all of their customer counter areas are being sanitized and disinfected to help prevent further spread of the disease.
Events
Bartle & Gibson are postponing any large events that may pose a risk to the health and safety of their staff and customers until further notice. Updates will be sent to local customers near each location, as well as to event participating supplier partners.
Staff
Any staff who have recently traveled outside the country or who will soon be traveling outside the country will be self-isolated and not permitted to work in their offices, counters or branches. Where possible the company will have employees work from home to further reduce the possibility of transmission. All staff are also being further educated on additional precautions they can take to maintain a safe working environment.
Remember to call 811 (where available), or your local health authority, should you develop any symptoms as a first step before visiting a health clinic.
Bartle & Gibson want their customers and supplier partners to know that we are all in this together and they will provide new information as it becomes available.
