How INS LifeGuard Has Embraced COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing
INS LifeGuard • September 28, 2021
INS LifeGuard provides support to a wide variety of customers.
We have highly qualified nurses and health care professionals that are contactable through a range of supplied medical alert devices including mobile emergency alarms 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. INS LifeGuard also employs many other professionals who assist with retirement villages and critical services as well as amazing support staff that help keep us up and running so we can be there for our customers when they need us.
Being a provider of these critical services is a responsibility we take seriously. It is essential that both our staff and clients are protected at all times. That’s why INS LifeGuard has introduced free Rapid Antigen Testing three times per week for all our permanent staff and the beginning of every shift for non-permanent.
So what does this mean, and how does it work? Allow us to explain.
What is COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing?
As the name suggests, COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing can detect the virus even if the individual doesn’t have any symptoms. The tests we’re using are administered by simply resting a swab on the tongue for two minutes. After approximately 15 minutes, the result is determined.
What is the Difference Between Rapid Antigen Testing and PCR Testing?
There are a lot of similarities between the COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing and PCR Testing. Both can determine if an individual has the virus even when no symptoms are present.
The key difference is that PCR Testing is completed in a laboratory. While it can provide a more accurate result, it can take hours or days to receive a response, especially in peak times. By using Rapid Antigen Testing, INS LifeGuard can assure other staff members and clients that our people are safe to interact with.
Who from INS LifeGuard is Getting Tested?
All INS LifeGuard permanent staff will get tested three times a week. Some of the employees who will participate in the Rapid Antigen Testing include:
- Health care workers
- Nurses
- Call centre operators
- Administrative staff
- Software developers
- Technicians
- Sales representatives
Why is INS LifeGuard Introducing COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing?
We want to ensure we provide a safe workplace for all our staff as their health and wellbeing are just as important as our clients. Without our amazing people, we wouldn’t be able to deliver on our promises to clients. Our customers mean everything to us, and we take great pride in being able to offer services around the clock.
