How Are PSAPs and 911 Dispatch Centers Adapting To The COVID-19?
The recent COVID-19 outbreak has completely changed the way we live our lives, from going to the grocery store, playing sports, seeing friends, and even the way we work! As the first wave of COVID-19 cases is passing, countries are slowly opening up their economies and businesses have had to adapt in many ways to safely receive employees and customers again.
So, how are 24/7 work environments such as PSAPs and 911 dispatch centers adapting their workspace to fight against the spread of the virus?
As you’ve probably seen when you go out these days, plexiglass is being installed almost everywhere as a means to protect against the spread of air particles. However, generic plexiglass panels may not be enough for the needs of PSAPs work environments where operators often work 10+ hours shifts and use highly specialized furniture making it hard to mount most of the plexiglass solutions found on the market.
With the increased need to find ways to protect employees against the spread of the virus, Sustema designed the ConsoleShield plexiglass partitions as a means to promote social distancing a reduce the spread of air particles in the PSAP.
