Offices, corridors, lifts, toilets, break out areas, reception areas.

We have set up an operational team to work on solutions, and visual examples would really assist.

There are a couple fo good youtube videos by construction companies that have some footage of what they are doing - might be of use/interest:

The links to examples of social distancing in workplaces were really useful, appreciated, thanks !!

On a lighter note, some of my older female friends have struggled to visualise 6ft/or 2 m. I suggested  to think of a body laid between them. They opted for Sean Connery prostrate at their feet.

WE now have a short list that includes- Idris Elba, Nicole Kidman, Sean Connery, Greg Davis, Mranda Hart.

 It works for them and makes them smile, I have not yet included it as a workplace measure, although i may put something in about to celebrity cutouts to see if anyone has actually read it.

Idris Elba -1.89m

Nicole Kidman - 1,.80m

Sean Connery - 1.88m

Greg Davis - 2.03m

Miranda Hart - 1.85m

Richard Osman - 2.01m

Sorry the post peaked my interest, a certain supermarket advising two trolleys apart is also wrong given a standard trolley is 1.22m long (dear boss please end this furlough)

...6ft if you are American or 2m for everyone else...the fact that this can travel up to 8m seems to eluded everyone..  :)

Normally when something is mentioned on this site, someone pipes up is the measuring device calibrated (something I don’t always feel is really necessary, however). So, in the spirit of that, then we need to consider what the national standard is for this. Normally it is a certain number of wavelengths of a particular radioactive substance. This may be a little difficult to visualise on the office floor.

However, a quick google search noted that the metre was initially defined as one ten-millionth of the distance on the Earth's surface from the north pole to the equator, on a line passing through Paris. Expeditions from 1792 to 1799 determined this length by measuring the distance from Dunkirk to Barcelona, with an accuracy of about 0.02%

Of course, light travels at 299,792,458 m/s so simply divide 2m by the speed of light you get 0.00000000667128190396304 seconds. Then simply get a very good stop watch and record the distance some light travels in that length of time.

I don’t see the problem

I don’t need to get my coat I’m already home, and not cracking up at all :0)

the WHO (not the group). states "Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. Why? When someone coughs, sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease".

I work with many on differing construction sites now we need a permit for less than 2.0 metre working. they cannot measure, they will ban you from site if no permit (1) and if a permit (working less than 2.0 metres) more than 15 minutes again banned from site.

This is from so called health and safety persons. they want masks (p3), the want hand protection, fac screen and so on.
