According to Rockford Systems, Rockford, IL, its recently introduced GermBlock shields can help prevent airborne droplets caused by coughing, sneezing, or speaking from reaching a nearby person. This, in turn, can help mitigate the possible spread of COVID-19 infection.
Constructed of heavy-duty clear 3/16″ polycarbonate and 16-gauge 304 stainless-steel 3/4″-framing with full penetration welds, the shields are offered in table top, floor standing and extended-leg versions in popular sizes. To ensure shield stability, floor standing shields include foot plates with gussets and tabletop shields include front and side mounting brackets. In addition, GermBlock shields are offered in standard and clean-room models in the same types and sizes. Custom shields in a broad array of size, mounting, and material options, with and without casters, are also available.
For industrial settings such as factories, warehouses, and assembly lines, these shields can be placed in between employees standing or sitting in close proximity at workstations.
GermBlock shields are totally made In the USA (100% manufactured in Rockford, IL.) The company notes that given its Midwest operations and centralized geographical location, orders can be turned around quickly to support customers with urgent bio-protection needs.TRR
