ISLE OF WIGHT ELECTRICIANS RETURN TO BUSINESS – Island Echo

Isle of Wight electrical business, ETL Electrical Solutions Ltd, are one of many local firms returning to work but it is not business as usual after lockdown

This Island-based business of more than 15 years, with a further 20 years of experience on the mainland, are putting in extra guidelines and training for their staff before returning to their full service of commercial and domestic electrical installations.

ETL Electrical Solutions have been actively working to keep the Islands lights on, even throughout lockdown, as they provided emergency cover for frontline staff across the Isle of Wight.

In the run-up to returning to full service, the ETL Electrical team have been undergoing extra training, from online to in-person, socially distanced learning to prepare for working inside of peoples homes in the aftermath of COVID-19.

The team are used to working on sites, big or small, from fitting a light fixture in someones home, to fully wiring a marina However, working in personal protective equipment (PPE) such as full facial masks and even paper suits for the most vulnerable clients can be a tricky task. The training and guidelines being set out by Graeme and his team, outline the full process from picking up the booking to closing the job when completed safely!

ETL Electrical have already completed specific COVID-19 safe working training through an online learning platform so that they understand what is required. The team have also been working with local training business, Jigsaw Training and Development Service, learning about mental health in the workplace.

Graeme Preston, owner of ETL Electrical, says:

Keeping our staff and our customers safe as we move out of lockdown is our number one priority.

Mental health is something that we all have, we all deal with it in different ways and going back to work or coming into a socially distanced contact with people within their homes after weeks of being in lockdown can be challenging. Thats why we wanted to raise the topic before sending our team back to work.

Along with the training and the PPE that each team member is being provided with, steps such as arriving at jobs in separate vans, ensuring a safe working area, wiping down of surfaces after the work has been completed and rebooking of any jobs to a later date have been undertaken.
