“Social distancing of six feet can be difficult to maintain in a control room environment,” said Randy Smith, President of Winsted. “The new operator partitions help create a safer setting for employees during this time.”

The new Winsted protective operator partition is an effective, easy-to-install solution that creates a physical barrier between operators in control rooms and operations centers. The partitions define the personal workspace and reinforce social distancing. These partitions are a high-quality original equipment solution that can be easily repositioned as needed.

The protective operator partitions feature the following benefits:

  • Extended height and depth for extra protection
  • Easy-to-clean acrylic partition
  • Temporary or permanent installation options
  • Clear or frosted surface
  • Smooth bullnosed edges
  • Radius corners

Winsted operator partitions conform to OSHA 3990-03 guidelines on preparing workplaces for COVID-19. According to OSHA guidelines, engineering controls must include the installation of physical barriers, such as clear plastic guards. Winsted’s new protective operator partitions will help control room operators meet these required standards.

“Winsted is committed to developing control room solutions that ensure operator safety and keep businesses open during this time,” said Smith.
