Sharing COVID-19 Advisory for Automotive Tinting Facilities

[FilmTack]

We hope that our window film tinters and loved ones are well amid the COVID-19 outbreak. FilmTack is committed to ensuring the health and safety of all our customers and staff. We have issued face masks to all our staff and increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection in our premises. 

 

In these challenging times, we have consulted professional medical personnel and prepared the following recommendations for our industry’s automotive tinting facilities:

 

• Provision of face masks for frontline staff who are liaising with customers in person.
• Use of United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered disinfectants that are leather/fabric-safe, to disinfect the driver's seat of vehicles before and after tinting. https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2
• Enforce simple visitor crowd-management by encouraging pre-bookings to avoid servicing queues. Ideally, customers should return to collect the vehicle at a later stipulated timing and not wait at the Rest-Area.
• Implement additional safety protocols in showrooms and tinting facilities:
  • Contract-Tracing by registering visitors/customer’s name, contact number, arrival date and time.
  • Provide hand-disinfectants for visitors and customers.
  • Temperature-Taking.
  • Regular disinfection of showroom, especially tint-meter and heat demonstration kits with EPA-registered disinfectants. 
  • Disinfect the tinting bay after each vehicle is completed, with (low-cost) bleach solutions that are suitable for your facility’s floorings.
• Reduce or avoid off-site automotive tinting. If mobile tinting is demanded by customers, arrange for pick-up services by valets (with relevant insurance coverage).
• Facilities such as car dealerships with more tinters should consider staggering work shifts as part of internal Business Continuity Management (BCM).

The welfare of our staff and customers are of paramount importance to our industry. The above recommendations are by no means exhaustive. We can all, do our utmost to ensure business continues as usual and safe.
 
We wish you and your family the very best of health and continued well-being.
Please be safe.
