Influenza A: all precautions have been taken! - 20/11/2009

France 3 documentary yesterday at the head office of the Mr.Bricolage group, on the current hot topic: the Influenza A pandemic and the prevention plans applied by companies..

Jean-Mary Marie, Human Resources director, described the Activity continuity plan in the documentary. This plan was prepared more than 4 months ago and is intended to manage the situation in each store in case of an influenza pandemic.

One million masks ordered

Almost one million masks have been ordered at group level, plus tens of thousands of bottles of hydro-alcoholic solutions. This risk is taken very seriously in order to protect both employees and customers, and to ensure service continuity, should the influenza virus prove even more virulent.
