We are proud of the way that our team has stayed focused on keeping safe while getting the job done.

Overview of our new way of working

Key principles

• Keep safe – take all of the necessary precautions. Wash hands, use your hand sanitiser and wipe down surfaces at the beginning and end of every shift.
• Don’t make contact with surfaces unnecessarily and if you do wash or use your hand sanitiser.
• Maintain two metres working distance at all times.
• Don’t congregate with others
• Be kind to your family, workmates and customers. Remember everyone is challenged at the moment.
• Obey the road rules, take your breaks, drive to the conditions.

Managing Level 3 at Bonney’s

• New ways of working remain in place
• This means if you are working from home, you will continue to do so.
• Continue to follow all protocols – including physical distancing, good hygiene and only two people in a lunchroom at a time.

Respect the lock down at work and at home

• Minimise, or eliminate if possible, physical interactions amongst staff and with and between customers.
• Adhere to all of our health, hygiene and safety measures.
• Restrict activity to only what is essential during the Alert Level 4 period.
• When you have finished your shift – go home and stay home.

New ways of working
