Licks特許法律事務所はAlbert Einstein israelite病院およびFirjanとの革新的な取り組みにより、オフィスでの業務に戻るべく安全な環境を確保

THERMAL CAMERA

Cameras installed at the reception check the temperature and the correct mask usage of up to 30 people simultaneously, immediately identifying anyone without a mask or with body temperature above 37.8 °C (100 °F).

AIR PURIFIERS

Over 40 German Trox® Absolute HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arrestance) air filters block airborne viruses (including SarS-CoV-2), bacteria, and contaminant microparticles of up to 0.3 μm, which includes suspended aerosol. The Absolute HEPA air filters installed are Trox® cubic units (for areas up to 30 sqm, such as meeting rooms) and Trox® tower units (for areas up to 100 sqm).

UV LAMPS

Short wave ultraviolet lights (UV-C) were installed in air conditioning ducts for eliminating viruses, destroying both the protein layer and the genetic material, seeking to inactivate microorganisms. This method is also widely used in hospital environments.

HAND SANITIZER TOTEMS

Totems with automatic hand sanitizer dispensers were positioned through all traffic areas or in those considered critical environments, which require immediate hand cleaning before and after use (such as restrooms and dining areas).

“The office was already improved in its preparation for safe return when we met for the first time,” says Dr. Mônica Gonçalves, Coordinator of Occupational Medicine at Firjan. Among these improvements there was the purchase of the most modern corporate health safety equipment, such as thermal cameras (which check temperature and the use of masks in several people simultaneously), and more than 40 air purifiers by the German brand Trox, with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) absolute filters, the same ones used in hospital "covid rooms" to block SarS-CoV-2, variants thereof and other viruses. In addition, UV lamps with germicidal action were installed in the air conditioning ducts, and hand sanitizer totems were placed all through the office facilities.

Cleber de Moraes Motta, project consultant physician of the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital, explains that the protocols designed for Licks Attorneys went far beyond actions that have become part of everyday life, as they considered the Rio de Janeiro office’s infrastructure and the routine of the more than 200 members who work there, whose return is happening in three phases: 40% in November, 75% in December, and 100% in January.

“It was enriching for us to be with Licks Attorneys on this project. We saw the heavy investment that was made, not only financially, but also in behavior. I have no doubts that the office is very safe facing the scenario”, said Dr. Mônica Gonçalves when delivering Firjan's Covid-19 Prevention Certification to Otto Licks, managing partner of the firm, on December 10th. Four days earlier, Licks Attorneys had received the Standard for Covid-19 Quality and Safety seal by Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital for having met and exceeded the consultancy's requirements.

Both consultants praised Licks Attorneys' initiative to create a portal to provide members with all information on the office return project. “Adopting the security measures was not enough, the legislation requires formal evidence that this had been done. Licks has developed a didactic portal with all the necessary information, a commendable initiative, which demonstrates responsibility for the health of its members”, says the Firjan representative.

The portal is at Licks Attorneys intranet, accessible to all members via computers and mobile devices, and is updated in real time. It provides information about the equipment installed in the office, members vaccination status, recorded incidents, and the Health Checklist, as well as all the communications already sent about the office return project.
