Prevention for our employees

Before going to work

1. If you have any symptoms (cough, fever, difficulty breathing, etc.) that could be associated with COVID-19, you should not go to work. Contact the COVID-19 contact line in your autonomous community or your primary medical center and follow their instructions.
2. If you have been in close contact or shared space without keeping the interpersonal distance with a person affected by COVID-19, you should not go to the workplace, even in the absence of symptoms, for at least 14 days.
3. If you are vulnerable due to age, being pregnant or having previous medical conditions, you should not go to the workplace. In case of not being able to carry out the tasks remotely, a doctor should be contacted to prove, when appropriate, that in fact it is necessary to remain isolated from the workplace.

Commuting to and from work

1. Whenever possible, prioritize the mobility options that best guarantee the interpersonal distance of approximately 2 meters.
2. If you go to work on foot, by bike or motorcycle, you do not need to wear a mask. Interpersonal distance should be kept when walking down the street.
3. If you have to travel in a car, you must take extreme measures to clean the vehicle.
4. When traveling by public transport, the interpersonal distance with other passengers must be kept. It is mandatory to wear a hygienic mask.

Distancing / Capacity

1. The establishment’s capacity will be reduced according to the recommendations established by the competent authorities at all times. In our case, 3 people is the maximum capacity including the shop-assistant.

Equipment disinfection

1.

2. Disinfection of surfboards and kite equipment:

• After school: Due to their use, surfboards and kite equipment have no direct contact with mucous membranes. Class participants are using the equipment predominantly in the salty water, the equipment is also constantly exposed to the sun. When the surfboards come back to the store, no-one has any possible contact with them, except for the instructor. In this case their additional disinfection is not necessary. Bars, harnesses, and handles of kiteboards are disinfected with anti-virucidal products.
• After rental: After each rental, the equipment is disinfected with anti-virucidal products recommended by the Spanish Ministry of Health, or left exposed to direct sun for approx. one hour on each side. The surface of the boards exposed to direct sun will exceed the temperature minimum of 60 degrees to eliminate the risk of contagion. Bars, harnesses, and handles of kiteboards are disinfected with anti-virucidal products.

Bathrooms

1. We have increased the usual cleaning frequency, also incorporating the disinfection of contact surfaces.
2. Frequent contact surfaces are sanitized with a disinfectant product with bactericidal and virucidal properties.

2. We inform customers about the need to use hydroalcoholic gel, which is available in dispensers, as well as the necessity of minimizing contact with any surface.

After work

1. The workers must maintain the distances and implement the measures of prevention of contagion and hygiene also at home, especially if they live with people from risk groups.
