Sneeze Guards
Sneeze Guards for Desks, Tables, & Mobile Room Dividers
There are some industries that our society will always rely upon for happy, safe, and comfortable living. These vital work spaces might be schools, offices, or various facilities, such as government cafeterias and correctional institutions.
Even in the midst of a global situation, there are some operations that are easier to complete in person. For example, it’s vital to offer our students a safe space to learn and grow.
That may be in our own homes, if necessary, but since school offers important lessons in basic socialization, long-term online learning may not be so simple to sustain. Fortunately, at Shiffler Equipment, we offer a diverse line of sneeze guards for schools — and other environments — that provide a protective, physical barrier to reduce the spread of bacteria, viruses, and more.
What is a Sneeze Guard for School Desks?
A sneeze guard, also known as a sneeze screen, is a transparent or translucent shield that protects people from respiratory secretions, such as saliva, mucus, or blood. In general, these may not be very harmful, but when emitted from the mouth of someone who is ill, they facilitate the rapid circulation of whatever is making them feel unwell.
Since they’re often used to safeguard students, coworkers, and visitors who must remain in close proximity, desk guards for schools, offices, and facilities are the most popular. There are also many different types of sneeze guards that can be used in a variety of different applications — such as mobile room dividers that go where you go!
How Tall Should a Desk Protection Shield Be?
One of the main considerations when it comes to installing a sneeze guard for school desks is the height of the shield. However, most standards for sneeze guards are in place for food service barriers, like the ones you might find in a cafeteria or buffet.
Therefore, a good rule is that the barrier be high enough to completely block the transmission of airborne fluids. This means that they can communicate with their teachers and classmates, from their seat, without spreading germs.
Unfortunately, many are probably wondering what that translates to in terms of a specific measurement; the truth is, this can vary by institution. At Shiffler Equipment, we offer everything, from lightweight barriers that are 18-inches high to cashier shields up to 48-inches tall!
