During the course of this pandemic, people have been forced to withdraw from their normal routines and activities. Fitness centers and gyms being one of the many luxuries most people have found alternatives for or given up completely. Getting back to a “normal” way of living is what we are longing for. As a result, Goff’s has created portable gym screen dividers for social distancing to help provide safety and get fitness centers and gyms up and running.

With the summer months sneaking by, schools are in a rush to make a plan for students and faculty returning to school in the fall. With the COVID-19 pandemic, this task looks different than previous years. Some districts are looking at postponing the reopening of school while others are looking to put strict policies in place to keep everyone safe. These policies include requiring face coverings, the logistics behind changing classes, smaller class sizes, and additional social distancing measures. Goff’s offers an option of transparent shields for schools to help with social distancing.

CDC guidelines recommends you “Install physical barriers, such as sneeze guards and partitions, particularly in areas where it is difficult for individuals to remain at least 6 feet apart.” Schools don’t always have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to adjusting class sizes or implementing the 6 feet social distancing requirement. Utilizing sneeze guards or transparent desk shields is a way to keep class sizes the same and create protection for students. Personal Safety Partitions are available in three different options to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools.

Bars across the United States are closing their doors for the second time due to COVID-19. The lack of safety measures taken upon reopening the first time caused most of these situations. Without proper precautions, there are too many close-proximity situations that occur in a bar. Goff’s has an easy-to-implement PPE system designed to separate individuals that can be utilized at bars and restaurants.

The need for personal safety partitions.

So far, 2020 has shown to be a life altering year. The ongoing effects of COVID-19 has forced new government and CDC guidelines upon people and their businesses. One of the many new guidelines includes social distancing and staying 6′ away from another person at all times. Sometimes keeping this distance is not practical for the space. Especially when it relates to capacity issues, or payment and food exchange areas. The CDC recommends “Installing sneeze guards and partitions at cash registers, bars, or other food pick up areas where maintaining physical distance of six feet is difficult.” Goff’s Enterprises of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, has created and manufactured clear PVC sneeze guards for the solution. These sneeze guards or Personal Safety Partitions will keep employees and customers safe in areas that require close contact. Continue reading to find out why our transparent PVC option is better and safer than plexiglass sneeze guards.

goffs-psp-usps-14-plexiglass-sneeze-guardsIf you own a business, you are probably looking into different ways to take extra precaution on safety to adjust to current guidelines. One of these guidelines includes keeping 6 feet of distance between personnel at all times. Sometimes staying 6 feet apart is not practical for all businesses to operate properly. In those instances, the CDC has recommended installing safety partitions or plexiglass sneeze guards to separate individuals in tighter spaces. There are many reasons that plexiglass or acrylic partitions are NOT the solution. Installing clear PVC curtain safety partitions are the better and safer option.

Due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, everyone has been instructed to comply with social distancing guidelines for safety.

These guidelines include staying 6 feet away from another person, abstaining from large group gatherings, and taking extra care in the cleaning of surfaces that many people come into contact with. Safer-At-Home orders have been put into place across America resulting in the closing of businesses. With hope for the future, these businesses are looking into all possible ways for them to reopen and do so safely. Egg + Flour, a pasta restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has managed to successfully prepare their business for reentry by installing a new product from Goff’s Enterprises.

Keeping an industrial space, such as a warehouse, properly air-conditioned is a major challenge – and an expensive one. Studies have shown that keeping such buildings cool can cost up to seven times as much as the costs to heat them.

Much of this is due to the industrial doors in use, particularly if they were poor fits for the work being done. For example, workers who have to go through the same set of doors over and over may end up propping the door open to save themselves time. This is logical from their perspective and may help improve their productivity, but it lets the cold air out quickly.

Unfortunately, this can cause numerous problems:

A better choice of industrial doors can solve these problems, and potentially improve productivity in the process.  There are numerous less-common types of doors and portals which are specifically designed for these sorts of situations.

For example:

Strip Doors are designed for situations where workers will be passing through the same door often or will have their hands full.  Strip doors present no barrier to workers, but are still highly effective at retaining air conditioning, and also keeping pests out.

Curtain Walls are highly multi-purpose because they can function as both doors and walls.  They’re typically hung from the ceiling on rollers so that they can be easily moved out of the way when needed while acting as a wall the rest of the time.  They’re also easy to relocate.

Climate Curtains are a variation on curtain walls that are designed specifically for climate control, with a layer of insulating material within the curtain.  These are excellent for preserving your air conditioning or preventing a hot activity from heating up surrounding areas.

Motorized Vinyl Doors are lightweight and can open instantly at the press of a button thanks to the high-speed motor.  Depending on your specific needs, they can either be fully solid or made out of mesh to allow airflow between areas.

Goff’s has an outstanding selection of creative door and partition designs, specifically created to improve industrial productivity while lowering maintenance and energy costs.  To learn more about how our products can improve your facilities, just contact us.

 

When part of your business relies on consistently moving product in and out, your choice in doors can make a huge impact on profits and productivity.  While perhaps not the most obvious option, vinyl doors on your loading dock can solve plenty of common problems – and without creating new problems in the process.

Here are just a few examples…

Four Loading Dock Problems That Can Be Solved with Vinyl Doors

  1. Productivity loss from opening and closing the door all day

Metal doors can be extremely slow to open and close and could even become a bottleneck to operations.  After all, you don’t want to just leave the door open all day.  However, lightweight vinyl doors can be fitted with high-powered motors that allow them to open or close within just a second or so.

The cumulative effect of this on overall productivity can be enormous when looked at over long periods.

  1. Choosing between ventilation and insects

Warehouses can easily become stuffy and difficult to work in, potentially even harmful if the temperatures get high enough.  The problem is trying to achieve ventilation, without letting insects and other potential contaminants into your warehouse.  However, vinyl doors can be made of a tight fiber mesh – strong and secure enough to act as a door, while still allowing airflow.

A vinyl dock door can significantly improve comfort levels within the warehouse, leading to higher productivity.

  1. High energy costs

Another big bonus to utilizing mesh-based vinyl dock doors is that they can significantly lower energy costs, particularly where air conditioning is concerned.  That airflow can reduce your need to utilize climate control within the warehouse, leading to lowered energy bills.

  1. Expensive damage to doors or machinery due to impact

If, for example, a forklift accidentally runs into a heavy metal door, that’s going to leave a mark.  The forklift, the door, or both will be damaged – and that gets expensive to fix, particularly if it’s a commonplace occurrence.  Vinyl doors, however, are designed to easily pop off their rails if an impact occurs and can be restored with ease.  Damage to either door or machine will be minimal if there’s any damage at all.
