To Our People - Clients, Dealers, Staff and Community,

At Reed Security we're paying attention to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. It's unsettling and share the same concerns as you.

We have increased measures to Reduce the Spread. We encourage you to consult these trusted sources before making any decisions or disseminating any information: 

• Public Health Canada 
• Saskatchewan Government
• WHO 

INCREASED MEASURES

• As of today none of our employees have traveled to a country or area with an “Active Travel Health Notice” per Public Health Canada. If an employee did we would not allow the person to return to work until the end of the mandatory government recommended self-quarantine - which is currently 14 days. 
• If you (employee) travel outside of Saskatchewan please consult a government website to assess the risk level and current protocols for your trip and return. All travel outside of Saskatchewan should be disclosed to the office for the safety of all employees and our clients.
• If you (employee) are faced with self-isolation and do not have adequate supplies please let us know and we will do our best to assist you.
• If you have upper-respiratory symptoms (headache, coughing, fever, other flu-like symptoms), please notify us and stay home; and we recommend you consult a doctor and a trusted information source to determine the best next steps.
• As of today most clinics and doctors offices request that you call first if you think you have COVID-19 so that they can be prepared for your arrival.
• Please do not come to work within 24 hours of having symptoms of a cold or flu.
• If a household member is symptomatic, but unconfirmed COVID-19 please consult a professional and use your best discretion in deciding when it’s safe to return to work.  
• Should you (employee) require self-isolation or extended time off for illness please contact Employment Canada about benefits.
• If you (employee) are confronted with someone who is COVID-19 symptomatic please maintain a safe distance of at least 2 meters or 6 feet, as always you have the right to refuse work that you think is unsafe.
• While we are extremely happy with the job our cleaning staff does we have requested they increase their current cleaning to include wiping down public surfaces with alcohol based wipes.
• Our goal is to reduce the staff in the office at any given time by 20%. Please discuss work from home or reduced in office days with your manager. 

 
REDUCE THE SPREAD

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and especially after using the restroom and before eating.
• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, wherever available. 
• Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes.
• Avoid shaking hands, hugging, or other personal contact.
• If you need to cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your bend of your elbow.
• Wipe down your cell phone with alcohol based wipe several times per day.
• Once per day wipe down public surfaces with an alcohol based wipes. This includes the front counter, light switches, door knobs, proximity card readers, and security system keypads.
• Everyone (including clients) is required to wash their hands before and after using our boardroom.
• Do not share computers, desks or phones.
• Where possible do not share tools or van space.
• Anyone can be denied entry into our office, or asked to leave the office if they are displaying symptoms that make our staff feel unsafe, a sign will be posted to indicate this at the front door of our office.

Today Reed Security is officially celebrating our 20th Anniversary!

When we started on March 10th, 2000 the security industry was booming and the competition was fierce. The big companies had successful door to door programs and the telephone company (SaskTel) started in the security business. 20 years later the door to door programs are still persistent and even more telephone companies (Bell, Telus/ADT) offer home and business smart security. The competition has never been greater!
