Covid-19 Updates

COVID-19 Update from Spirent - June 2022


Throughout the pandemic the safety of our employees, customers, and partners has always been our top priority. This continues to be so as COVID-19 global health, regulatory conditions, and restrictions remain fluid across the world.

To manage the on-going risks and challenges posed by the pandemic, and to ensure safe working environments at all our locations, we:

  • Encourage all employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and booster as soon as possible, based upon the availability of the vaccine and vaccination eligibility guidelines in their location

  • Initiated a return to on-site work in April 2022 for most employees globally, where it was safe to do so, regardless of vaccination status

  • Implemented Vaccination Certification for North American and UK employees

  • Clearly communicated site safety measures and protocols for employees and visitors

  • Established flexible working to help employees adhere to enforced social distancing while on-site

  • Continued to utilize our ‘Exposure Notification’ process, aligned with local privacy and health regulations, to highlight and track possible COVID-19 exposure

  • Partnered with mobility platform providers in applicable countries to deliver automated health screening for employees, contractors, and visitors

  • Increased the number of temperature screening devices at our facilities

  • Restricted non-essential business travel

We will continue to monitor the situation on a country-by-country basis. We remain committed to ensuring a safe work environment for all our employees and helping our customers innovate faster, deliver flawless user experiences, and reduce costs.
