A statement from EMR Jersey on COVID-19

View our COVID-safe customer processes PDF

EMR Jersey aims to protect both staff and its customers as our highest priority so we now have new Safe Operating Procedures that must be respected at all times. Commercial customers must provide their own safety helmet and hi-visibility clothing. Access will not be permitted without it.

Our new rules are designed to keep everyone on site safely segregated in order to eliminate and / or minimise the risks to an acceptable level.

If any of the rules are breached EMR will Stop Work and ask you to leave the site.

Ferrous Yard Customer Process

• 1) Follow the self-isolation guidance issued by the Government. Do not attend site if you or someone you live with displays symptoms i.e. a new continuous cough and / or a high temperature
• 2) You will be required to provide your own PPE. Access will not be permitted without it. We can not issue PPE on site due to the COVID-19 transfer risk and potential cross contamination. The PPE requirement for the Ferrous yard is: a hard hat and a hi-vis vest or jacket
• 3) You will be expected to stay in your vehicle as much as possible. At some sites there may be an EMR Marshall to greet and guide you. They will stay at least 2 meters away from you and your vehicle at all times
• 4) Please stay in your vehicle on the weighbridge and wait for the weighbridge operative to contact you via the intercom
