Covid or AIBU but the face scan machine at work has been "playing up" this week.

Staff been told to take hats off before they take the check, obviously can't have temperature read with face covered up.

Today it had alot of these "false readings" resulting in staff, not me, to wait outside 15 minutes for a retest at 5am and it was - 6.

Should the staff have been sent home to get a test or were they right to wait and have another test?

Doesn't bother me but was a big topic of discussion today, it's a big factory with about 500 people on the factory floor each shift

I'd say it's a no win situation. The workplace were trying their best.

I agree with no win situation. I hope they were being paid for waiting?

This is appalling

Are you a member of a union?

Question is, should they just have abandoned temp checks?
