Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Benton's are open to support the Building and Construction industry during this time. However our Stores may operate differently than usual based on Federal and State Government requirements and recommendations.

Our focus is the health and well-being of the Benton’s Community, being our Customers, Suppliers and Team Members. The Benton's team is ensuring we do all we can to minimize the spread of the virus.

In addition we have implemented the following throughout our network:

In Store

• Mandatory Face Coverings – Until further notice, face coverings will be worn by all Metropolitan and Regional Team Members, Suppliers and Customers.
• Barriers – these are in place at each Trade Counter across the network, to ensure social distancing of 1.5m is maintained.
• Acrylic Screens – these are in place at each workstation throughout both the Trade Counter and Showrooms, to limit the transmission of airborne particles.
• Capacity Limits – each Benton's Store limits the number of Customers allowed into the store, based on square meterage and the number of Consultants available.
• Appointment Only – entry into the Showroom is by appointment only to reduce the amount of contact between Customers and Team Members.
• Customer and Visitor Tracker – all Customer details are requested when entering our Stores across the network in case we need to warn them of potential contact they may be exposed to.
• Restricted access to all Offices – access is restricted and limited to those Team Members only, for all offices across the network, including our Estimating (Commercial Department) and Gas Department. All meetings and appointments are conducted over the Phone, or via Video Conference.
• Sanitizing Stations – each Trade Counter and Showroom has a dedicated sanitizing station at the entry/exit, for all Customers and Team Members to use upon entry and exit.
• Cleaning – each Trade Counter and Showroom is regularly disinfected throughout the day, to ensure all shared areas are sanitized.
• Café Bar & Public Communal Space Closure – all Café Bars and Public Communal spaces across the network have been closed for the foreseeable future.

Deliveries

• Signature not required – signatures are no longer required for delivery completion.
• Cleaning – all vehicles within our fleet are regularly disinfected each day. Further, all vehicles have been supplied with disinfecting solution/wipes.
• Two-person deliveries – social distancing protocol is enforced and maintained by Team Members for products that require a two-person delivery.
• Temperature Checking – where available, daily temperature checking is undertaken for Team Members, particularly those travelling to Commercial sites.

The health and well-being of our Community will continue to be our first and foremost priority.
