Professional Covid-19 Workplace Testing

The Coronavirus Pandemic has caused chaos and hardship across the globe, requiring businesses and organisations to find ways to adapt and operate as safely as possible. Ideally your workforce will operate from home, but for many businesses this is simply not an option. While social distancing and PPE can help to keep cross contamination to a minimum, it is inevitable that some members of the workforce will become infected – but until (and unless) they show symptoms, they become ‘silent spreaders’, infecting many other people without any knowledge of doing so.

The unusually long incubation period of Covid-19, combined with the fact that many people have very mild symptoms (or often none at all), means that only an effective testing programme can identify infectious individuals – as has been so clearly demonstrated in Liverpool late last year, and more recently, the lorry drivers at Dover Docks; testing works, and it has become a vital part of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In addition to the RT-PCR Laboratory Tests currently used by Government testing centres – with which we are all familiar – there are two alternative ‘rapid tests’ available, these are the Covid-19 Lateral Flow Test (also known as the Covid-19 Antigen Test) and the Covid-19 Antibody Test.

On-site Lateral Flow (Antigen) Testing and Antibody Testing will help identify potentially infectious individuals in your workforce. Rapid tests produce results in just 15 minutes and can identify both those who are infected but showing no symptoms (asymptomatic), and those who in the early stages of infection but not yet symptomatic. Any individual who has tested positive or inconclusive should then isolate immediately and do an RT-PCR Laboratory Test for confirmation.
Regular testing for Covid-19 will:

  • help safeguard your workforce and customers from exposure to infection
  • minimise disruption to your business
  • reduce absenteeism due to self-isolation
  • identify symptomatic and asymptomatic Individuals (silent carriers) infected with the Covid-19 virus, who pose a risk to your workforce and any other individual that they come into contact with.
  • provide your company with crucial information so that you can take strategic steps to safely implement a phased return to work.

Whether you require one-off screening of your employees or regular testing, we can create a bespoke testing programme that will minimise disruption to your activities and protect your workforce and clients.

I’ve just had a Covid-19 antibody test. I was initially nervous to have this so I thought it would be useful to share how I found it. Safety was probably my biggest concern as I was inviting somebody into my house, but I needn’t have worried – June was wearing full PPE, she sterilized all the surfaces she used pre- and post test. This made me feel really safe. I was also unsure about what the test would tell me and whether it was value for money. Before taking the test June fully explained what she’d be testing and all the possible outcomes in detail. I felt able to ask questions (even silly ones) and June left a comprehensive leaflet with me, with all the information on. The test itself was pain free and simple, and I got my results within 15 minutes. Finally I guess it can feel uncomfortable inviting someone into your own home. I found June very professional, personable and approachable. I have to say I am so glad I had it done.

We’ve recently had our Covid-19 Antibody Tests completed. June made herself a sterile, safe and clean environment before thoroughly explaining to us exactly how the process worked. She guided us through step-by-step regarding what she was about to do. The results were back in 15 minutes and we couldn’t have been happier with the results and the service. June is an asset to CHF Health Checks. You should get yourself booked in today.

Lee Clayton-Harvey. Head of Marketing, Veterinary Business Development
June arrived promptly in her professional uniform and in full PPE clothing. She was meticulous about cleanliness and sanitized the work surface and the equipment she used. June provided a very professional information card and explained the procedure very clearly. The test was carried out with precision and without any pain, and the results were very transparent for all to see. I would unreservedly recommend June to carry out Covid-19 screening.

June was really fantastic. She followed all the Covid safe guidelines to set-up the Lateral Flow (Antigen) and Antibody testing kits, she explained what the tests really mean and provided all the necessary information. Testing itself was virtually painless (pin prick or nose swab) and the results were provided in about 15 minutes. Our results were negative, but I’m glad we haven’t got the virus and whatever we are doing is still keeping us safe. Thanks again!

Narendhar Tangella. Bluechip
June from CHF Health Checks visited us in October after my daughter had been in contact with a positive case 1 week earlier. Our life plans at the time meant we needed to know ASAP if she was a risk to other family and friends. We also wanted to know if my husband had Covid-19 earlier in the year when testing wasn’t as widely available. The booking was carried out over the phone, simply and efficiently with June visiting us the next morning to carry out the antibody test. She arrived with all the required PPE and a friendly smile. The testing process was very calm and explained fully. We knew exactly what was going on and what she was testing for. 15 minutes or so after the test the results were clear and fortunately they were negative. Whatever the results had been, the test gave us clarity and reassurance on what to do next. Life was no longer held in limbo and a weight was lifted.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending CHF Health Checks to anyone looking for quick reassurance from a friendly and efficient company.

Finding the best solution for your business

As can be seen in the ‘Immuno Response Curve’ diagram below, each of the Covid-19 tests has an optimal window depending upon when the individual was first exposed to the virus, therefore tests are best used in combination if possible.
We offer all three testing methods either individually or in combination:
  • Rapid on-site Lateral Flow (Antigen) Testing – nasal OR oral swab
  • Rapid on-site Antibody Testing – finger prick blood test
  • RT-PCR Laboratory Testing – nasal AND oral swab
We’ll provide a team of professional health technicians and all the necessary PPE equipment and test-kits, to carry out on-site testing in a Covid safe environment at your premises.

Our ‘rapid tests’ take under 30 minutes with results provided during the consultation – therefore both the person being tested and management will know immediately whether the individual needs to be sent home to self isolate, or if it’s reasonable to assume that they are safe to be at work.

Any positive rapid test results should be followed up with an RT-PCR Laboratory Test for absolute confirmation of the presence of the virus. We can carry this test out for you or, as RT-PCR swab collection does not require medical supervision, this test can be carried out by the individual themselves – either at home or on your premises – and sent by post to the laboratory for analysis.
