Echo Investment implements new security program at buildings

Echo Investment is making changes to its buildings to make sure its tenants are safe as they reopen their offices after months of remote work due to the coronavirus. As part of its “healthy office buildings” project, the developer has launched a “five for security” program, which is already operating in three of its office buildings and will be implemented at other buildings that will be put into use later this year. The program is based on five important keystones: disinfection, protection, distance, information and communication. “We have created a system of visual information, building signage, that allows employees and visitors to easily find themselves in these new conditions in office buildings. In reception areas there are special UV devices for disinfecting access control cards for guests, pens or phones. Apart from basic actions such as disinfection of common areas every 30 minutes or personal protective equipment, such as gloves and masks, available at reception desks, we have invested in a number of solutions supporting the safety of people and buildings,” said Anna Kaczmarczyk, real estate management director at Echo Investment. “Our daily prevention will be supported by cyclical actions aimed at improving sanitary and microbiological safety by disinfecting ventilation systems and a building’s cubature. As part of developing the ‘healthy office buildings’ program, we are still analyzing the market situation, looking for new solutions and talking to our tenants. The safety and setting new standards that may increase the comfort of our employees is the most important for us.”
