Workplace Health and Safety in a Reopening Economy
Throughout the GTA and Ontario restrictions are being eased. However, the coronavirus will likely stay with us for the foreseeable future. Physical distancing and skin temperature measurement unfortunately will be part of running business for a while.
As a business owner it is important to prepare your company for re-opening. Temperature pre-screening of people entering your premises is an excellent tool, and every business owner should consider it to reduce public health risks.
Measuring Skin Temperature
Temperature pre-screening essentially is a method of measuring skin temperature of your staff, clients and visitors whenever they enter your premises. It allows you to get notified when people with elevated body temperature are trying to enter your building. Companies use it to minimize their risk while staying open for business.
The screening tools we see in the media look pretty invasive. People are getting their temperature checked with a handheld thermometer, usually with a line of people behind them, waiting for their turn.
Thermal Pre-Screening
We offer our clients a thermal pre-screening solution with pixel thermal imaging cameras to help with the process of reducing risks in the workplace. Our solution is completely non-invasive because it doesn’t depend on a handheld skin temperature thermometer.
The solution essentially is a thermal camera set up in the area where your staff and clients enter your premises. The infrared camera picks up the heat sources of each individual person, and gives a temperature readout. The color display flags people that are outside of the acceptable temperature ranges.

Privacy Issues of Thermal Pre-Screening
You may wonder if there are any privacy issues of thermal prescreening in businesses and public institutions. This article on thermal prescreening in workplaces
by Andrew Bratt and Elizabeth Kurz of Gowling WLG discusses privacy issues. They confirm that thermal pre-screening is permissible and provide ideas about how to implement temperature screening.
