Social Distancing Store Layout Examples
All stores should have received the UCB supplied Safe distancing stickers these should be sited as per the regulations. When siting the stickers it is useful to breakdown your store into 2mx2m squares as per the diagrams in the attached link. Here we have virtually re-created 3 actual UCB sites (small, medium & large) and put the stickers down in 2mx2m squares.
It shows on the example the number of customers acceptable at any one time in store (as long as they are observing the social distancing rules). The nature of our business is that customers are in and out pretty quickly, with low numbers being in at any one time, generally skewed towards impulse shopping rather than browsing.
With all of our examples we found that the acceptable number would rarely if ever be reached in that particular store – we are sure that most of you will come to the same conclusion for your store. It is easy enough to get an idea in your own store of what the safe maximum customers inside at any one time should be. Measure the square metres of floor space available to customers and divide it by 4.

Truckies are keeping the country moving we are there for them - Roadhouses
Yesterday one of our Roadhouse member sites was asked to close Truckie seating by Police, even though they were following the strict Government rules and advice, we had provided in our Covid-19 Update on Tuesday via ACAPMA.
Following up just now, with Elisha at ACAPMA, the following actions have been taken:
The private secretary to Mark McCormack the Deputy PM was speaking directly to the SA Premier and asking for the rules, agreed by the National Cabinet, to be made clear to enforcement officers in that state. ACAPMA are also communicating at the moment with all of the other Premiers/Chief Ministers’ offices to ensure the message gets out there across the whole country, particularly to the Police.
Elisha suggested that Roadhouses who are keeping seating open and adhering to the strict guidelines, print and display the attached "Exemption from closure order" in their seating area and ensure all management and staff are fully aware. If you have a good relationship with local police forces it may be an idea to make contact with them to pre-empt any situations and talk through the regulation.
Any issues whatsoever please can we encourage you to get straight onto ACAPMA with the details – they will take it up immediately. By all means contact your UCB Business Manager to discuss anything we can help with on this, or the Staff Safety Screens or the floor stickers. We are doing everything being asked and are providing a vital service to our Truckies. This exemption was well thought out and necessary, please help us to ensure everyone is aware that we are doing the right thing.
