Could your organization benefit from using ID cards for employees, guests, customers, or volunteers? PVC ID cards can help you streamline security, restrict access to facilities or materials, quickly identify people on busy sites, and even provide loyalty programs to customers.

If you’re working in any of these industries, it may be time to invest in an ID card printer and the right software to create a system that works for you.

#1 Construction

Construction site theft is not just common; the costs climb every year. Across Canada, construction site theft now costs $46 million annually, and much of that theft is done by on-site workers. Construction sites are ripe for theft, as they’re often busy scenes where valuable materials and equipment are stored with minimal oversight.

Photo ID cards are a quick way for construction companies to mitigate the risk of theft and secure materials that are valuable and sometimes dangerous. With an on-site ID card printer, companies can also issue appropriate ID to site visitors, which will help prevent non-employees from making off with materials.

#2 Non-Profit Organizations

Every organization’s reason for using ID cards is unique. Employees in the non-profit sector often find themselves organizing events with the help of volunteers. Organizers need to be able to quickly identify volunteers from attendees or guests, and a matching T-shirt isn’t always enough.

It also helps organizers connect with volunteers when they know everyone’s name. Name recall is one of the biggest factors in creating lasting connections with volunteers.

ID cards can also be useful in non-profit medical settings, such as animal shelters, where only some volunteers with the qualifications should have access to controlled drugs.

#3 Emergency Services

Any way to speed up security processes used in the delivery of emergency services is a good one. With the use of photo ID cards for emergency services personnel, security at hospitals and other facilities can quickly confirm the identities of personnel and avoid security breaches during a crisis.

Security is essential in emergency services, but it can’t slow down rapid response times. Avon Security Products provides customizable systems that allow security teams to verify identities or provide access to restricted facilities. High-quality employee ID cards are watermarked and holographic to prevent counterfeiting and tampering. 

#4 Retail

Customer loyalty programs are an excellent way for retailers to show they appreciate customers who keep coming back. Studies show that a customer who has an emotional connection to your business will have four times the lifetime value of an average consumer.

For local retailers, that goodwill shouldn’t go to waste. Now more than ever, shoppers are showing their love for local businesses whenever they can. The right card for the program isn’t just durable; it’s also got character. Make sure it brings your brand to life.

With supplementary software, you can easily track purchases and points, and record data for your most loyal customers. 

An ID card printer can enhance your security system, introduce a loyalty program, reduce theft, and help you engage volunteers. Find out how you can make high-quality, secure PVC photo cards on-site.

It can be hard to manage access to busy workplaces. Between visitors, deliveries, contractors, and employees, sometimes there’s too much activity for CCTV to effectively monitor. At the same time, too many locks or security check-ins can take too much time and interfere with the workday.

Organizations that need to restrict physical access to a building or create layered access to a facility for different employees are discovering the benefits of proximity cards. Once a technology primarily used in automobiles, it’s now an efficient solution to building security.

What Are Proximity Cards?

Proximity cards provide keyless entry to restricted buildings and areas. They can be easily attached to a key ring or clip, and they’re made to endure everyday use. Cards may integrate photo ID if that is a necessary element to your security system. For example, employees may need to check in with security to enter the building but can use their card to enter restricted facilities inside. Key tags can be used if you don’t need photo identification. 

The system incorporates readers, proximity cards, and software that allows an organization to control access. The software identifies the validity of a card and matches codes to the designated area. From a user’s perspective, all they have to do is wave the card or key tag in front of the reader and get instant access to the area. An access control server allows administrators to view activity reports and manage access privileges, ensuring that only the right employees have the appropriate access.

How Do HID Proximity Cards Work?

Proximity cards rely on RFID technology, or Radio-frequency identification. This is a form of wireless communication to identify a person or object. It doesn’t require a direct line of sight to be scanned, so some proximity cards don’t even need to be waved or swiped.

RFID can also be found in debit and credit cards, which allows consumers to tap a reader in order to pay.

With a printer to make Avon Security ID cards in-house, organizations can print and program all the cards they need, on the spot, without compromising security or functionality.

What Are the Benefits of Using Proximity Cards?

The benefits of proximity cards are worth looking into when you want to create a workplace that’s secure without standing in the way of worker productivity. They provide:

·         Greater control over access to buildings and sections of buildings;

·         More accurate monitoring of movement than CCTV can provide;

·         Flexible controls that allow administrators to update access privileges;

·         Tighter security without interfering with work productivity;

·         Integration with other technologies such as hologram printing, smart cards, or photographic identification.

When you need to meet the demand for heightened security while balancing it with convenience, proximity card systems provide minimal disruption. Critical industries such as banking, healthcare, emergency services, government, and more need heightened security. Get better control to safeguard buildings, property, and employees and provide a convenient way for employees to access their workplaces.

As the owner of a small business, you have to keep a close eye on all your expenditures to protect your bottom line. No investment is worth rushing into headlong without first researching everything about it, and an ID card security card system is no exception.

We understand that here at Avon Security Products. That’s why we’ve compiled the list below. It shares what you stand to gain when you invest in an ID card printer today.

Access Control

First and foremost, an ID card printer system produces employee badges. This form of identification helps your security team recognize people who belong and those who don’t. A missing ID badge is proof the individual hasn’t been vetted by your team.

Monitoring your attendance has never been more relevant as you stay open during the pandemic. Your company likely follows new capacity restrictions and physical distancing rules to ensure your employees, customers, and visitors are safe.

Having an ID card printer on-site will help you respond to these new standards, no matter what your day-to-day business may be. Take a look at our post about health fitness centres to learn how you can lower risk levels in any industry.

Protect Inventory

If you work with proprietary data, financial info, or pharmaceuticals, an ID card printer system can help you increase your security. Employees will have to swipe or tap their ID badges before they can access devices, servers, or even physical locations. This will help keep prying eyes from spotting confidential information and prevent sticky fingers from stealing your inventory. 

Branding

Branding is important for any company, but it’s tantamount to success when it comes to small businesses. It’s a representation of what your company stands for — not just as a visual cue of your services but the philosophy by which you operate.

Here at Avon Security Products, we have a line of branded accessories that help you get your name out there. Our ID lanyards show off your business’ name and logo whenever your employees or guests wear their badges outside of the office.

To learn more about how you can make an impression with a visitor lanyard, take a look at our custom lanyards. But don’t forget to peruse our entire line of accessories, including badge reels, clips, luggage tags, and more.

Scalability

No one knows what’s on the horizon for the upcoming year. If your business sees huge growth over the next 12 months, you need to know your ID card printer system can mature with you. That’s why we’ve developed a scalable product line that fits your needs as you flourish — whether you remain a relatively small outfit or evolve into a national brand.

One of our security experts can match you with the perfect one-box security solution, which includes an ID card printer, PVC cards, and all the printing supplies you need to get started. We’ll customize the security features to suit your needs now, but we’re always just a phone call away should your needs change in the future.

To learn more about how we can help your small business, get in touch with us today. We’d love to hear about what you do so that we can help you do it safer.

Now that we’ve flipped the calendar over to 2021, the crew at Avon Security Products is back on the clock and ready to help you with security. To help you get back into the swing of things, we’ve compiled a list of new security features you’ll want to consider in the months to come. Keep scrolling to see how you can increase your security in 2021.  

Security Features of Your ID Card Printer

All too often, we think about how an ID card printer will increase the security of our spaces without giving a thought to how well we protect the machine. Remember, an ID card printer produces badges that give access to locations and information that may be highly confidential. You’ll want to consider how you secure this equipment carefully.

Here at Avon Security Products, we help you lock down your equipment by offering only the best printers in the country. You can pick a high quality ID card printer that comes with a locking mechanism that fastens the cabinet enclosure. Only those with the key will be able to use the printer, which means you have total control over who may produce ID badges. 

Our sophisticated ID card printers also come with advanced software security settings, including user authorization and password protections to ensure only approved employees can use them. 

Security Features of Your ID Badges

Turning our focus away from ID printers, we look to the other part of this security equation: the ID badge. An ID badge can show more than just a simple photograph and name. With the right printer and PVC cards, you can enhance your security by including the following cutting-edge features:

Watermarking

Adding a watermark is a smart way to boost your security because it makes your ID badges harder to reproduce. Ask us about our line of printers with lamination modules capable of producing watermarking and holographic imaging. You can also overlay stickers to superimpose texts and pictures onto your existing badges. 

Magnetic Stripe Encoding

We have special PVC cards that come with magnetic stripes. Once encoded with data, employees and guests can gain entry to places and electronics with a simple swipe of their badge. These PVC cards don’t require security personnel to verify their identities in person, so you can save on your security team budget. 

Proximity Card Readers

Our sophisticated prox cards provide the same precision digital access control as badges with magnetic stripes, but they share data differently. 

With a proximity card, radio frequencies transmit data to your card reader electronically. They work a lot like the bank card you hover over the grocery store payment system, meaning your reader doesn’t need contact to verify IDs. 

A contactless form of identification has never been more appropriate as we adapt to new workplace restrictions. Prox cards help reduce what your staff and visitors must touch while eliminating the number of in-person security personnel you need on the premises. 

Bottom Line

Security doesn’t come from a single feature; it’s a collection of mechanisms, technology, and design that come together to keep your business safe. The features we listed above are just some of the advantages you get when you use access ID card systems from Avon Security Products. To learn more about ID printers and ID badges for your unique industry, get in touch with us today. One of our security experts is ready to help you upgrade your system for another year of success.

With another year rapidly drawing to a close, now is the perfect time to perform a review of your security systems. 

So, how has your ID card printing system worked these past 12 months? Take a moment some time before the clock strikes 12 to consider how satisfied you are with your Avon Security Products ID printer. 

Why You Should Check-In with Your ID Card Printer

We encourage our customers to check-in with their printers even if things are running smoothly. If there isn’t a glaring breakdown or glitch slowing down your ID badge production, it’s easy to push your security maintenance to the back of your mind. But like any sophisticated piece of equipment, an ID printer benefits from regular maintenance to ensure it’s running on all cylinders. 

So, reacquaint yourself with the technical information and user manual that came with your printer and software. These documents will remind you of all the features that your security system offers.  

If your printer isn’t operating as you expected, get in touch with us today. Someone from our factory-trained technical support team is ready to help you with any issues, questions, or concerns you may have.  

Are You Ready for an Upgrade?

This check-in also gives you a chance to evaluate how well your printer meets your security needs. If your business has grown considerably since you first invested in an ID card printer, you may be ready to get more out of a security system. 

Check to see our printers by industry, or give us a call for one of our printer experts to compare your options. With Canada’s largest photo ID warehouse, we have cutting-edge features for expanding businesses. These include printers capable of faster printing times, custom holographic details, dual-sided printing, and magnetic stripe encoding. 

You may also consider upgrading to a proximity card reader this year. These contactless ID badges send information wirelessly to a reader, allowing access to areas and technology without a single swipe. This will help you maintain social distancing rules and limit the number of shared surfaces your employees and guests must touch. 

Check Your Inventory

As the holidays rapidly draw to a close, many businesses are busier than ever as sales pick up. You don’t want to get caught without essential supplies during your busy season. Running out of these materials could bring an unfortunate halt to your security system and have a rippling effect for all branches of your business.  

To ensure you don’t experience any interruptions, check to see that you have the following items in stock:

• Accessories (hard ID badge holders, customer lanyards, etc.)

• Blank PVC cards

• Cleaning supplies

• Extra parts

• Ink ribbons

• Printer spools

Here at Avon Security Products, we provide everything you need to set up and maintain your ID card printer system. Look for your printer brand and model under our supply finder, and we’ll show you the supplies your printer needs to run its best. 

Go ahead and contact us with your order today, or wait until the new year. We’ll be here any time you need us. Until then, have a happy holiday from our family to yours!

If you’re just starting to look into ID card printers, you’ve come to the right place. Avon Security Products is an authority in the ID security world, and we’re ready to share our expertise with you today.

Keep reading to learn all there is to know about what an ID card printer can do for you.

What is an ID Card and Printer?

First, let’s start with the nuts and bolts of our security systems. In other words, let’s take a look at ID cards and printers.

An ID card printer is similar to the printer in your office — it’s a piece of equipment that takes digital text or images and produces a hard copy. However, there are two major differences between these electronics. While your admin uses your printers to issue invoices, documents, and contracts, ours generate security badges. And instead of using paper, we use blank PVC cards.

We shone a spotlight on PVC cards in a previous blog post, which we encourage you to read for more information. However, the long and short of it is, PVC is a hard, durable plastic that takes to printing easily. Our ID card printers use specially formulated inks that suit the PVC card material, working quickly to produce flawless, full-colour ID badges that won’t smudge or bleed. 

What is an ID Card Printer System?

An ID card printer system is a package containing all the tools you need to design and print secure ID badges. At Avon Security Products, we call this package a one-box security solution. That’s because it includes ID software, ink, ribbon, and a webcam, in addition to a printer and PVC cards.

We tailor these items to the specific brand of printer you choose. As Canada’s largest distributor of plastic card printers, we have an impressive inventory of the biggest names in the security industry:

·         Datacard

·         Evolis

·         Fargo

·         Javelin

·         MagiCard Neo

·         Polaroid

·         Zebra

One of our knowledgeable representatives is ready to help you decide which brand best suits your industry’s needs. Just let us know a little about your company, and we can provide a side-by-side comparison of your ideal ID printing systems.

What Can These Cards Do?

First and foremost, an ID card is an identification system. Our printers generate badges that clearly display employee and visitor names, positions, and images. A quick look at a badge proves your HR or security team has vetted these individuals, and they belong on site.

But this is just one of the many tasks our cards can help you perform. In addition to an identification system, our cards can help you with:

·         Attendance and time tracking

·         Electronic access control for hands-off security protecting rooms, storage units, and other physical spaces

·         Digital access control to technology, equipment, and files

Should You Invest in an ID Card Printer System?

ID cards provide peace of mind that analogue security methods can’t. Not only does it prove the identity of the person who’s wearing it, but it also comes with digital and physical access control and employee tracking. You’ll be better protected and more organized as a result.

If you’re ready to take your business to the next level in 2021, give us a call. We’ll help you get the full package you need to make security a priority for the new year!

“Put it on plastic”. When you hear this expression, your mind probably goes to all the times you’ve tapped or swiped a credit card at the till. But after today’s post, you’ll find out why you can put your business’ security “on plastic,” too. Or, more precisely, PVC. 

PVC is a tough material that’s the perfect option for ID cards. Here at Avon Security Products, we recommend that you use 100% PVC ID cards for an efficient and secure business. 

What Does PVC Mean? 

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, a strong plastic polymer. Roughly 40 million tons of it are produced each year, making it one of the world’s most widely used polymers. 

Although you may not know it by name, there’s no doubt you’ve come across it long before you started investigating our PVC ID cards for security. You won’t even have to look very far to find it; PVC is in almost every room of your home. Spot it in plumbing and toiletry bottles stored in the washroom or food containers and cabinetry in the kitchen. It’s in laundry detergent bottles, rain jackets, boots, and more.

As for your security system, PVC makes up the ID badges that slip into pockets or hang conveniently from custom lanyards.

Why Do We Recommend PVC for Security?

PVC cards are generally considered the best solution for producing ID cards because it’s durable and flexible. 

You’ll find it easy to print all the text, photographs, and graphics you need to keep your business secure. We’ve even made it possible to add holographic imprints and watermarks, two features that make your ID badges all but impossible to fake.  

Not only does using PVC mean your badges harder to reproduce, but it also projects a professional image of your company. They’re quick to print with flawless accuracy, and you never have to worry about smudging or bleeding. 

To a visitor, this seamless experience makes an exceptional first impression. First impressions are everything, so a smooth printing experience for guests and employees alike can make a world of difference. 

Best of all, it promises significant cost savings. Once you add a PVC ID printer to your business, you’ll have a trusted identification system in use that reduces your need for security personnel and lowers your legal liability. 

Frequently Asked Questions about PVC Cards 

While one of our knowledgeable representatives is always ready to talk about our ID card systems, we understand you’re busy! You have a lot on your plate, so you may not have space in your schedule for a conversation just yet. 

If you don’t have time to jump on a call — or you’re not yet sure if PVC cards are the right solution for you — keep scrolling. Here’s a quick overview of the most common questions about PVC cards. 

1. Are there different types of PVC cards?

PVC cards can come in many different forms so that you can have the exact custom ID card solution that you need. This includes the size and the embedded features that your cards possess. 

Also, for those organizations that wish to be as green as possible, you can obtain PVC card paper made of recycled materials.

2. How can PVC cards be secured?

A PVC ID card can be secured by the ID card security technology that you want it to have. This includes solutions like magnetic stripes and newer, more high-tech security features like smart chips.

3. Which PVC ID card security feature should I choose?

1. Visual Security

This should always be the first line of defense provided by your PVC ID cards. Maximizing the visual security capabilities of your PVC ID cards means going beyond a simple picture ID, which can be easily faked by anyone with basic printing technology, time, and a few household tools. 

To get the most out of your PVC card security, we always recommend that your cards include holographic visual identification technology. This makes it incredibly difficult to copy a PVC card or alter it in any way without someone easily noticing a discrepancy.

2. Digital Security

The digital security features that a PVC card determines how people are able to access certain terminals, entryways, etc. within your organization. 

Your best options in this regard are magnetic stripes, smart chips and RFID proximity communication capabilities. For example, proximity PVC cards are efficient, secure, and they can allow people access without even taking the card out of their bags.

4. Can a standard inkjet or laser printer be used for printing on PVC cards?

A PVC ID card is not compatible with standard printing solutions. If you tried this, you may have ended up damaging both the printer and your PVC ID card! 

The best way to print on a PVC card is to use a specialized PVC ID card printer. Like standard printers, PVC ID card printers come with a variety of capabilities. 

For example, if you only need basic one-sided PVC ID cards printed for a handful of employees, you can opt for a less expensive ID card printer that only has basic features and a moderate printing speed. 

If, on the other hand, you need full colour ID cards with graphics on both sides, and you need a large volume of ID cards, then we recommend that you use a higher end dual-sided PVC ID card printer.

Strengthen Your Security with a PVC ID Printer

 

PVC cards are more than just a kind of plastic; they’re a dependable way to secure your business. If you’re ready to put your security on plastic — or you’d simply like to learn more about the benefits of PVC ID cards — get in touch with us today. One of our helpful representatives can answer any questions we didn’t answer in our FAQ above.

When we hear from new customers, they’re reaching out for a security solution. Our ID printers help business owners keep tight control over their premises, providing an affordable yet sophisticated management tool for a variety of industries.

With such a focus, they may not be aware of the other perks our ID card systems provide, making it our pleasure to share our printers’ full capabilities.

Whatever brand or model you choose, you can expect more than just security when you come to Avon Security Products. Our cards are the full package.

Convenient and Efficient Entry

Inefficiencies create costly problems. An outdated ID printer may take a long time to produce visitor badges or worse, print cards with imperfections. These issues don’t reflect well on your business, especially when you only have seven seconds to make a first impression.

Meanwhile, technical difficulties may interfere with your employees doing their job. When you pay your staff an hourly rate, anything that ties up your employees moving through security checkpoints will cost you money.

A few seconds here, a minute there — it all adds up to make a sizable dent in your bottom line.

Upgrading your printer to one of our ID card systems streamlines staff and visitor entry and saves you a considerable amount of money.

Track Employee Time and Attendance

Our ID card systems allow you to monitor when each employee clocks in and out, not only keeping accurate time and attendance data for your records but also preventing time theft.

Our systems can also show when your employees flash their ID badges at specific security checkpoints, so you may know where and when they are at all times.

Your printer stores these details for later review — whether at tax time or when a security breach requires a thorough investigation.

A Solution to Modern Healthcare Concerns

The pandemic turned the business world on its head. Here in Canada, homegrown companies are still adapting to the new normal. They’re learning how they can keep their doors open without compromising everyone’s health.

Staggered shifts and individual workstations are popular de-densification tricks that ensure fewer people are in the office at any given time. They make it easier for employees to stay six feet apart when telecommuting isn’t possible.

There’s no better time to upgrade to prox ID cards. These contactless ID badges don’t require your employees to touch shared surfaces.

A Branding Opportunity

Pair an ID card with one of our security badge products like a retractable lanyard or badge reel, and you have a free marketing opportunity.

These accessories make it easy for your employees to keep their ID cards on them at all times, including when they aren’t on your premises. Their badge hanging from a custom lanyard will accompany them to the coffee shop on their lunch break or the grocery store on their way home from work.

Get the Full Package

Here at Avon Security Products, we provide peace of mind. That means our ID badges do more than strengthen your security. They provide the full package: branding, safety, time tracking, and efficiency. If this sounds like something your business could use, get in touch with us today!

Your visitor check-in process has never been more crucial to the safety of your staff and guests. As the first line of defence, your visitor management team controls the safe flow of people through your spaces, and if they do it right, only vetted individuals will make it through — whether they’re clients, delivery personnel, or substitute teachers.

Who you welcome through your doors depends on your industry, but one thing stands for certain: Avon Security Products is here to help you welcome these visitors with confidence. Our comprehensive ID card systems will help you reinforce and streamline your visitor check-in process to make it a convenient, efficient, and safe system.

Here’s how we can help:

An ID Card Printer System Simplifies Identification

When you make wearing an ID badge policy for staff and visitors alike, you make spotting the odd one out easy. If someone lacks an official badge with your watermarking, they don’t belong. Your security team can easily identify these interlopers and remove them from your premises.

Here at Avon Security Products, we have different types of visitor solution products depending on your industry. We offer tailored digital access control for your unique needs — whether you entertain a client once a month or welcome several visitors every hour.

An In-House ID Printer Streamlines the Check-In Process

Visitor management is already seeing delays as you incorporate safe social distancing and enhanced cleaning procedures. You don’t need to tag on more time with an inefficient system or an outsourced service.

Having an in-house ID printer is a convenient way to speed up the process without compromising details or function. Our ID card printer machines produce flawless ID badges at impressive speeds.

You’ll Protect Your Bottom Line

An inefficient or complicated check-in process costs you money in more ways than one. It makes a dent in your visitor management team’s productivity, as they’ll spend more time than necessary on each guest.

You’ll also waste resources if an outdated ID printer is to blame. Although PVC ID card paper is relatively inexpensive, continually having to reprint spoiled ID badges starts to add up.

When your management team isn’t fighting with an outdated ID printer, your visitor check-in process excels. Your team can focus on welcoming guests in a professional manner that impresses clients and other esteemed guests.

A streamlined system comes with another cost benefit. If you hire repair technicians who charge by the hour, you won’t waste any time at reception.

It Offers Unparalleled Security

Whether you’re in construction, tech, service, pharmaceuticals, or more, every industry has buildings, information, assets, and people that need to be protected. An efficient visitor check-in process can help you do that by keeping unwanted visitors away from restricted spaces, equipment, and data.

More still, our plastic ID card printer systems can help you keep track of those visitors you allow onto the premises.

Let Us Help You Find the Right System for Your Needs

Do you know what ID printer will help elevate your visitor check-in process? Don’t worry if you don’t have a brand name in mind. One of our helpful security experts is here to help. We can outline the differences between each printer we offer.

And if you do have a make or model in mind, we don’t mind helping you compare it to other visitor pass solutions to make sure it’s the perfect fit for your needs. Get in touch with us today to get the ball rolling!

All over the country, gyms are back open for business, but plenty of people are thinking twice before they hit the treadmill or picking up a set of dumbbells. Of course, safety is top of mind for most gym-goers, as the Government of Canada still classifies gyms and athletic studios as “high-risk” establishments alongside concerts, cruise ships, and nightclubs.

Fortunately, the government also notes risk levels may change depending on physical distancing and face mask rules.

This is good news for gym owners hoping to keep their doors open in a safe way. There are ways to reduce the risk of your facility, provided you implement new protective measures that include enhanced cleaning procedures and social distancing measures. 

While drafting these new rules, don’t overlook what ID cards and printers from Avon Security Products can do to keep your gym members and staff safe. 

Gym & Health Club Membership Cards Help You Monitor Your Attendance

Safety in the time of COVID centres around de-populating a public space. In other words, you need to regulate your attendance to ensure you aren’t allowing too many people inside at any given time.

While you can get staff to count your customers by hand, this process is time-intensive and imperfect. It means someone has to be at the doors, watching like a hawk as people come and go; if something distracts them, you can accidentally permit too many people for your space.

This is where our gym ID card systems come in handy.

Our ID cards and accessories help your staff monitor your guests, making sure only those with a genuine membership have access to your facility. But better yet, our ID card systems can integrate time and attendance tracking features to ensure you can keep track of your members at all times.

These security features come standard with a variety of our ID card printer machines. And as Canada’s largest photo ID warehouse, we have the widest selections of products and the biggest ID card system brands in the business.

How Else Can You Keep Your Gym Members Safe?

While a sophisticated Avon Security Products ID card system will help manage your attendance, it works best when you combine it with other safety measures. You can further reduce your risk level with the following tips and tricks:

·         Increase the frequency of your cleaning routines

·         Move equipment so that there are two metres of space between each

·         Install plastic guards to create a physical barrier around equipment

·         Enforce a mandatory mask rule

·         Designate workout stations at the free weight station

·         Provide sanitization stations for gym members to clean their hands

·         Propose workout limits to 60 or 90 minutes

·         Bring in an HVAC professional to ensure your facility’s circulating air properly

For more ideas, get in touch with local fitness industry organizations and look for any best practices for handling the risks associated with COVID-19. As always, look to the government and other prestigious organizations for leadership.
