Communication as a key in the 2020 cherry campaign. Covid-19 scenario.

 

Company: Cerima Cherries
Area: Production
Reason why it started: Due to the state of pandemic recently declared at that time, the state of alarm forced us to guarantee the safety of our workers, for which a Contingency Plan was drawn up against Covid-19.
Impact of the project: Through this procedure we provide guarantees and security to the workers that the measures taken by the processing plant were adequate to avoid contagion.
Challenges of the project: Based on what has already been established, certain points of the procedures must be improved. For this season there is much more information and certainties regarding the transmission of the disease, so our improvement efforts will aim to avoid the possible risk factors of contagion and to be able to have an operational campaign without contagion.

Summary of the initiative and results

We draw up a Contingency Plan against Covid-19 where all the necessary measures are found to avoid the contagion and spread of the disease within the processing plant. In addition, special facilities were modified and created to avoid overcrowding, a group was created to clean common areas that were in charge of disinfection of these, a group of personnel controllers was created to guarantee the correct use of personal protection elements and measures of personal hygiene. As a result, no case of Covid-19 was reported, in addition it was possible to operate normally throughout the campaign.

Best practices against Covid-19 at Frutas Alhambra

Company: Frutas Alhambra
Area: Health & Safety
Reason why it started: Cope with the global pandemic situation.
Challenges of the project: • Maintain a safe work environment for everyone with comfortable and accessible protection.

Summary of the initiative and results

Several preventive health and safety measures were applied:
Face screens:
• They impeded the correct vision of the worker and were easily fogged.
• Screens were replaced at each work station.
Masks in the field:
• They caused shortness of breath, hyperventilation and hypoxia.
• Harvesting was rescheduled to increase the distance between workers and avoid possible cross-propagation.
We study the possibility of installing low-emission and highly effective Ozone machines in offices and manufacturing rooms:
• Pro: being able to keep the facilities safe during the day.
• Against: we are studying the possible toxicity due to continuous exposure, as well as the possible effects of oxidation on office equipment or machinery in handling rooms.
