COVID safe Tour Protocols & Procedures

Pre-screening

Wherever possible, Reef Trips will seek to pre-screen crew and passengers prior to attendance, in line with identified public health processes.

  • Maintenance of effective records, survey/questionnaire responses and other customer information may be vital in the community response to COVID-19. Records including pre-screening and contact details will be kept for a minimum two-month period.
  • Pre-screening also helps to increase staff and customer confidence that they are safe.

Social distancing

Due to the nature of COVID-19 and the manner in which the virus spreads (through close contact with an infected person or touching a contaminated surface), the most effective way to slow transmission of the virus is through physical distancing and hygiene practices.

In all contexts, our staff will facilitate practices which support appropriate social distancing aligned to most recent advice from the Chief Health Officer.

Our management and crew will remain up to date with health advice and to ensure compliance, above and beyond the details outlined in this document.

Indoor and outdoor areas have been calculated for maintaining a density of no more than 1 person per 4-meter square of floor space.

Cleaning & Hygiene

Management will:

  • Promote frequent and effective hand washing by all staff, customers, and visitors.
  • Have cleaning and disinfect products readily available with instructions on safe & effective cleaning & disinfecting procedures.
  • Ensure adequate time and resources are provided for enhanced cleaning procedures to be undertaken.
  • Ensure appropriate training for staff to implement enhanced cleaning procedures in line with contemporary practice.
  • Have alcohol-based hand sanitiser and or hand washing facilities with soap readily available to staff and customers for regular use.

Marine Tourism COVID Safe Requirements
