A thermal camera app that takes an individual's temperature or a visual temperature check app that can be accessed remotely and that will allow a participant to supply an actual photo of their digital thermometer's reading are two ways to deter sick people from coming to work. Visual checkpoints that are set up within your business can do the same thing, but since germs have already entered the premises, relying solely upon this type of equipment may not sufficiently block a virus from spreading.

Apps That Are User Friendly

Using a couple of phone apps each day will not require much effort from your employees. Your workers may even appreciate being able to conduct this type of analysis from home, without needing to drive to their place of employment and wait in a line to be assessed.

Research temperature check applications that provide instant results. Seek an app that will work on a mobile phone or any type of internet-connected device that your workers may own. Download and use each app to determine how the process works. Once you have made up your mind, create a log chart, which can be used to keep track of when your employees complete their daily check-in. 

Company-Supplied Thermometers

If you want to take extra precautions and ensure that anyone who is running a temperature stays home to recuperate, require a thermal camera app and a visual check app to be used consecutively. For an application that is going to monitor your entire workforce on a daily basis, you may need to set up an account through the program. If you are concerned that one of your employees will use a faulty thermometer or won't provide accurate results that pertain to their actual temperature reading, using two applications will allow you to compare results.

It is also a good idea to require your employees to use company-supplied thermometers. Purchase a batch of digital thermometers and use a color-coding system to label them with your employees' names. During a morning temperature check that each person performs at home, request that they conduct the thermal scan, followed by the visual check that captures the temperature reading of the thermometer.

Some apps will use some additional information to determine if someone is sick. Questions that pertain to how someone is feeling or any symptoms they have noticed may be presented, which will provide more conclusive evidence about a particular person's current health.
