What is the Purpose of a Sneeze Guard?

Sneeze guards are a relatively new fixture in businesses but its one that has come up from necessity. Due to the large spread of illness in recent years, sneeze guards give greater protection to those interacting in professional settings. While sneeze guards in themselves cant fully protect individuals, they do have a few benefits that can help keep workers safe.

Sneeze guards are clear glass, plexiglass, plastic or acrylic barriers. They are setup on surfaces, such as desks, where frequent interactions between individuals occur. The clear screen sits between the two parties during their interaction and prevent droplets from sneezes or coughs from reaching the other party.

Sneeze guards for reception desks in offices or banks can have posts that help them to stand upright but there are other options available. Plexiglass brackets can help keep sneeze guards stable and secure and make it possible to screw into desks, be freestanding as a temporary option or even clamp to desks and other flat surfaces.

Another place where sneeze guards may be used are in restaurants and buffets. They offer the same protection by keeping droplets from reaching the food.
