As a leading chauffeur company, we are taking unprecedented steps in training all our chauffeurs to ensure that they follow correct safety procedures, for both our clients and themselves. Harrisons of Liverpool are following all the government recommendations for transport providers to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
For our latest Coronavirus Travel Guidance:
Our safety protocols have changed throughout the pandemic. We have evaluated our procedures constantly, and changed working practices accordingly. For your assurance we will monitor the situation on an hourly basis. And change again. But don’t worry about us. Our job means a lot of turning corners. We are used to it. For personal and private executive car travel advice during the Coronavirus, please contact us. We are open 24/7 during the pandemic. Stay Safe, Travel Safe, Be Safe.
Chauffeur Hygiene Procedure
In the event that a chauffeur becomes aware they have had contact with an infected individual, the chauffeur will immediately self-isolate and withdraw from service. We have advised our chauffeurs to be vigilant with personal and vehicle hygiene procedures, including monitoring their own health first.
Once a chauffeur has dropped off a client, prior to cleaning the vehicle, the chauffeur will first wash his/her hands thoroughly. Having completed this procedure, he/she will then focus on the sanitisation of the vehicle.
Vehicle Hygiene Procedure
Prior to each new client entering the vehicle, the chauffeur will sanitise the seats, door handles and all surfaces where the previous passenger had contact. Once the car has been fully sanitised, the chauffeur will then wash his/her hands again.
Greeting Procedure
He/she will be wearing a face mask and use hand sanitiser before leaving the vehicle to greet the client, they will refrain from shaking hands and will ask the client to load their own luggage into the vehicle. If the client can’t manage to lift their own bags our chauffeur will assist and then sanitise their hands before continuing with the journey.
Magazines and newspapers
The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that banknotes may develop into a public health risk as they change hands frequently, picking up bacteria and viruses along the way. This is why we do not offer daily papers or magazines while this is ongoing, as these are objects we touch every day, that could become key to the spread of the coronavirus.
Suggestions for our chauffeurs
Use anti-virus wipes to clean your vehicle interior surfaces between passenger changes. The areas you should focus on are: Interior door panel, all handles, windows, locks, door storage areas, cup holders, power cords, seats, exterior door handles, and children’s car seats.
Newspapers and magazines should be removed from the seat-back pockets in vehicles until further notice
Only offer sealed refreshments and immediately remove the remaining packets with gloves after the journey is completed
Wearing gloves to support customers with luggage is a good way to minimise contact and to reassure passengers
Handshakes with customers should be avoided until further notice.
