There is an ingenious way to label these products using standard in stock self-adhesive labels which can be printed on laser printers.

Manufactures of food products that are sold in jars or bottles often want to make sure that the contents have not been tampered with by using a self-adhesive security seal. The product can not be opened without breaking the seal.

High volume manufacturers use what are called “watchstrap labels” which as the name implies are shaped like a watch and strap, the watch bit sticks onto the top and the straps go down the sides and are over labelled by a separate side label. Sometimes the top label and the side label are joined by a thin adhesive strip this shape resembles a dumbbell, hence the name “dumbbell labels”.

This kind of self-adhesive label can be very expensive when made as a special, or bought in medium or low quantities (Below 100,000 labels). Jars and bottles vary in size and shape so it is unlikely that smaller manufacturers can buy what they want from stock.

There is however a solution, smaller and newer food manufacturers can buy the self adhesive label components of the security seal and apply them at final packing. So round labels for the lid plus thin strip labels for the seal plus side labels are purchased and pre printed on a laser printer. At final packing the thin strip label is stuck with one end on the lid and the other down the side of the product, the lid label and the sided labels are stuck over the ends of the strip label.

Simple permanent adhesive paper labels can be used, or if the product needs to be more decorative, or waterproof then gloss labels or plastic labels. We would not recommend inkjet printing for retail products because the ink is water based and can smudge or come off onto customers’ hands and clothes.

Companies like Label Planet have all the elements in stock and have advised hundreds of small and new manufacturers of food products. Most companies are pleased to send out samples in the right size to arrive within a day or two so that the construction of the self- adhesive labels can be tested on the product.

Introduction

In the current economic climate, it’s not only employees who’re coming under scrutiny in most organisations, but the effective use of work space as well.

With major advancements in the use and accessibility to mobile technology, it’s faster and easier and in some cases considerably more efficient for both employer and employee to agree a flexible type of working arrangement. So in addition to the traditional accommodation for office based personnel, employees are now able to do the job from home and work from several locales through the working week. Even when in an work place, hot-desking, touch-down areas or hotelling are all common arrangements being created the mobile employees.

In providing this flexibility, it is vital that the company considers how to make certain the business premises are employed their maximum efficiency. It is a major challenge for any employer, who will not want to look at rows and rows of empty workstations day after day.

Productive workplace planning is something increasing numbers of firms are actually considering. There exists much to take into account such as minimum space requirements, illumination requirements, fire exit and disabled access factors , to name but a few. So purchasing the assistance of a expert workplace planning company could prove a worthwhile investment.

It’s not only about effective planning and utilisation of office space. Is mobile working as well as the creating of hot desking areas correct for the industry? In most companies, the company culture plus the overall flexibility of employees means that such initiatives work. In other companies it may not. There are lots of items to consider in arranging the place of work environment. No two organizations are the same. For one group, it could be determined that a rousing working atmosphere for employees is required, whereas with other firms effective use of space within the office area is going to be a concern. Which ever is the best for the company, you will need to make sure the company’s culture and values remain clearly appreciated by employees.

The task time frame can take weeks or in the case of larger projects many months to finish. In either case, from the outset the process needs to provide you with a crystal clear plan to maximise the use of capacity, office and layout design, building timescales and management of building contractors whilst on site. The company’s employees will also have to be temporarily moved while the project is performed. There are also exacting health and safety rules regarding the office environment, which will have to be adhered to during the preparation of the task.

Work environment planning contractors will carry out a site survey of the business premises to try and fully grasp if such a design is likely to be a success. From the contractors point of view, it is a valuable practice, to make time to talk about and agree the options with the customer to make sure that once the course of action is agreed, work can be scheduled to make sure the minimum disruption to the business. Taking time to assess your workplace planning requirements is an essential element of any workspace reorgansiation

It doesn’t have to be an expensive office fit out to make quality use of interior space.

What should be taken into consideration when planning the workplace area?

One of the most critical considerations when undertaking workplace planning is to be absolutely clear about what tasks will be performed in the designated areas. Different layouts, different furniture, the amount of space required, should all be considered depending upon the tasks to be employed in the area. So whether the workplace is to be for permanent staff or flexible workers, consideration needs to be given to the comfort of the working environment, to aid productivity.

Permanent workers will spend many hours at their work station so it is important that consideration is given to individual work areas. The correct provision of the appropriate office furniture and equipment all aid productivity and efficiency levels. Each employee will require their own personal space around their work station. No one likes to be closed in and there are many variations of desk design, from single to multi desk designs to ensure enough space for each employee.

Comfort at the desk is a key priority to ensure that health problems are avoided through being in the seated position for long periods of time, so a comfortable chair is essential. Lighting is also a key consideration. A more pleasant working environment is created where the office is well lit , but consideration will also need to be given to avoid glare on computer screens. Telephone communication also needs to be well appointed on the desk. Equally, for the flexible worker, ease of connecting up a laptop and mobile phone will be essential.

It is important to take into account all of these issues to, as far as possible prevent distractions from other areas of the office which could interfere with work. However, employers need to get the balance right, as it is just as important to maintain good communication and working relationships within the office. Ensure that every employee has enough space to effectively and efficiently undertake their tasks, without being distracted by other workers close by. Therefore, in some cases, the provision of a meeting room to enable one-to-one or group discussions to be held, may be another effective element of the office design.

In my opinion, the most effective way in which to ensure that employees buy-in to what the employer is trying to achieve is to consult with the employees. Through consultation, the employees can give their views on what type of workstation will be best suited to performing the tasks.

For example if the environment is to be used by a sales person, where regular communication with clients is required, then a slightly more secluded working environment may be preferred to avoid background noise, particularly if discussing detailed proposals or contracts. A sales person is one type of employee who will have mobile working requirements, where a small amount of their working week will be spent in the office, whilst the rest of their time will be spent out on the road visiting potential and existing clients.

If the environment is in a finance department or call centre, then the use of system desking or multi seated work stations may be a more appropriate solution, where a number of employees can be seated in a work area together..

With any refurbishment project office space planning guidelines must be adhered to.

Health and Safety in the office

Whatever the office conditions, the employees should be allowed a degree of flexibility to set up their work station to suit their own needs. As long as the employer has provided and considered the requirements of the working environment to allow employees to undertake their work effectively, employees will want to add a personal touch to their own work area. As long as employees do not place their own health and safety or that of others at risk, then there is nothing wrong with the employer allowing some flexibility with this.
Guidelines for use of equipment at the workstation

Taking time to ensure the comfort of employees at the workstation can reduce health and safety problems in the future. Every one enjoys working near a window and if this is possible, the reflection from windows onto a computer screen can make reading of the screen difficult. Therefore, window blinds or shades need will need to be supplied to enable employees to control lighting conditions.

In situations, where the workstation is to be used for longer periods of time, guidelines recommend that the use of computers may require an anti-glare filter to be placed across the screen to reduce problems with reflection. A computer monitor is recommended to be at least 25cm from eye level.

It is also necessary to ensure that enough electrical points are available, for additional communications equipment such as mobile phone chargers and laptops.

Employees may also require printers or scanners to be located on their workstation.
The correct seating is critical of any workstation design. Perhaps the most important feature of the workstation is the provision of the correct type of office chair. Many hours will be spent seated at the workstation, so the better the quality of office furniture, the less likelihood there will be of receiving complaints from employees about discomfort in the back, shoulder or neck area of the body. The chairs comfort and design can impact upon how effective or productive the employee will be. So it is good practice to test some office chairs for comfort before purchasing too many.

Good morale amongst employees is positive for your business and a comfortable working environment will help the cause. I was recently involved in a project to set up a new call centre to accommodate eighty call centre agents. Following much discussion with the office design contractor and consultation with around twenty existing agents, plans for the new look office were agreed before the contractor went away to draft the plans. The existing agents felt that team working was important and therefore it was agreed that the most effective office layout would be for the call centre agents to be grouped in teams of six around a circular desk system.

Once the plans were finalized, over a three month period the office layout was developed. Taking time to involve the existing agents has proved very effective indeed, with all call centre disciplines showing good signs of improvement. Another major plus point is that in a call centre, staff turnover can be high, but any new starter is quickly integrated into a ‘team table’ and through training, conversation and listening to team colleagues, quickly adapts to the requirements and targets of that team.

Projects that involve office construction developments need to be managed effectively.

Fire Exit Considerations

No matter what type of business you operate, employers must comply with regulations around safety at work, and this includes what to do in the event of a fire.In today’s health and safety led environment whether it is at home or in the office, the installation of fire alarms is common place.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, was introduced to provide advice for businesses on what reasonable steps should be taken to reduce the risk from fire, to occupants of the premises . More importantly the Order contains advice to business owners to ensure that a safe escape plan is in place should fire occur.

Generally speaking, ensuring fire safety within premises is a common sense approach. It is important that in any workplace planning programme, that time is taken to identify for example, where the nearest exit routes are for employees to safely leave the building and where employees should congregate upon evacuation of the premises.

In some premises of course, hazardous materials may be in use within the building and therefore it is wise to seek further advice from fire safety advisors who can advise on how to take specific precautions. Equally, office buildings on several floors will also require advice from fire safety experts to ensure safe exit routes are identified. Many businesses now appoint fire marshals whose responsibility it is, to make sure that every one within the building is informed about what they should do in the event of a fire.

In any work place , escape routes should be safely and immediately accessible at all times and suitable for the number of people likely to use them. They should not be obstructed in any way and accessible for emergency services.

Guidelines do recommend that at least two fire exits should be available if a office is to be occupied by more than 60 people. The guidelines also extend to the number of flights of stairs and passages of corridors, so your workplace planning considerations will need to comply with the regulations.

Disabled Access

There are many considerations for employers to be mindful of when planning to accommodate disabled people within offices and premises. Under the Disability Discrimination Act every business is required to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to the working environment to ensure that people with disabilities are not discriminated against.

These include making adjustments to the workplace to ensure ease of access for the disabled and providing suitable modified office furniture to provide the same level of office comfort as able bodied employees.

Conclusion

It can be a cost effective solution to engage with a workplace planning specialist to review the layout of your current workenvironment. There are many rules and regulations to comply with, so taking time to consider the implications of precisely what is required is imperative. Do not under estimate the amount of issues to consider in making your workplace a pleasant working environment.

Unfortunately we live in a society where employees are quick to point the finger of blame at their employer for failing to provide the correct workstation or office furniture. So the contractor and client should take time to undertake a site survey, establish what is required from both the employer’s point of view and that of the employee to ensure that the end result meets both the needs of the employer and the employee. Productivity and morale will be greatly improved in a pleasant working environment.
