3 covid-19: our on-site paramedic As part of our COVID-19 safety precautions, Elstree Studios has a Paramedic at Security. This precaution has been put in place in an effort to protect the safety of yourself and others on site. The Paramedic is there to monitor the health and wellbeing of those entering and on site. They will be in full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and stationed at The Gatehouse with Security.
Upon arrival, the Paramedic may ask you a series of questions that include if you have experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have had contact with anyone who has. They will also ask if you consent to having your temperature checked. Anyone who refuses having their temperature checked will be denied access to Elstree Studios on the basis that their access could jeopardise the health and safety of others on site.
With a touchless infrared thermal thermometer, the Paramedic will test all Staff, Tenants, Clients and Visitors entering site for a raised temperature (38˚C or above). This is one of the main symptoms of coronavirus/COVID-19.
If you can answer ‘yes’ to the Paramedic’s questions or you do have a raised temperature, the Paramedic can carry a second screening or a more invasive (ear) temperature check. If this again reads high, you will be denied entry to site and advised to return home, self- isolate and contact NHS Direct to discuss symptoms and an assessment.
The Paramedic may also take you for further assessment if they deem necessary. They may take further readings of your blood pressure, oxygen and blood sugar levels. The Whitehouse will be used as a private location for these tests.
In the event that the Paramedic is concerned for your welfare, you may be asked to remain at the Whitehouse until arrangements are made for you to be collected safely from site.
ALL GDPR RIGHTS WILL BE PROTECTED AND ALL PERSONAL DATA CONFIDENTIAL.
We thank you all for your cooperatation.
