Leather UK member offers workplace testing for coronavirus

10/06/2020

Eurofins BLC Leather Technology Centre has developed new laboratory facilities and is offering coronavirus tests and workplace safety audits to companies.

Until recently, testing had been exclusively available to key workers but it is now able to test workers in other industries and sectors without impacting capacity for the NHS or emergency services in the UK.

The tests it can offer are:

1. Test for the presence of the virus (antigen test).

2. Test for the presence of antibodies to the virus.

3. Test for the presence of the virus on environmental surfaces in the workplace.

It said: “In addition, Eurofins BLC can also offer workplace safety audits, which is a good way of reassuring all stakeholders that reasonable measures have been taken to ensure that the workplace presents a low risk environment in terms of covid-19.”
