New colleague won’t adhere to workplace policies

No don’t raise it with the CEO, it’s a bit petty.
Send a reminder to every member of staff.
Or just ask her if she is remembering to do it.

You say it appears everyone else is adhering to the code of practice therefore I do not think it is unreasonable for you to expect her to do so. It would make me wonder how much she conforms to the other practices that are expected of us outside of the workplace regarding social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing if she is like this at work. If she is careless it may make her more of a health risk to you all. Is there a superior that could speak to her rather than going directly to the CEO? If not you may have no choice as her lack of conformity may breed discontent & unease within the workplace.

Just wipe down all the surfaces when you go in. You don't know for a fact unless you're monitoring the bins for used wipes after she's been to the loo which is both petty and stalkery! I get the feeling you don't like her much anyway so you might be looking for ways that she offends.

Maybe they didn't take in the information when they started, did they have any induction training? If they have both recently started there could be some sort of review to check their understanding of procedures in general. Might just need pointing out, once that's been done they have no excuse not to follow procedures and CEO might need to be involved.

I would speak to her line manager and ask that a note be sent to everyone reminding of the protocol. However if you are wiping as you go in that should be OK as far as it goes. The virus is most likely spread person to person via droplets.

I would ask for a general reminder to be sent out to everybody.

However, I never rely on somebody else doing what they should be doing. I would be wiping anything I needed to touch in a communal loo before I touched it anyway.

It might be helpful to have a sanitiser bottle in full view of the general area where you are all based - then whoever comes out of the loo can get reminded in a friendly kind of way if they walk past without using it.

I agree with Grandmabatty how do you know if your colleague wipes down or not ? I would be taking my own precautions and not fretting about what others do or don't do.

e..r.mm.....anti-BAC wipes?????

antibac wipes are fine, as is diluted washing-up liquid.
we've been through all this.
but if she is not washing hands after using loo, that suggests very lax/non-existent normal hygiene practices. that is not acceptable, esp in these times.
is there no one between you and the CEO. who is her line manager. is the wash-hand basin outside the WC closet, so that you can be sure she is not washing hands. it needs to be addressed. organisation has a duty of care to other employees/ users of space.

I wonder what makes you think the woman doesn’t wash her hands?

Beyond petty OP. I work in a GP practice and there is no wiping down of surfaces nor has it ever been mentioned. I despair at what Covid is doing to people....

Perhaps you should report her to the police

Unless you're following her into the toilet and watching what she does, how can you possibly know what she does? Unless, as a previous poster suggested, you're raking through the bins to count the discarded anti bacterial wipes? If I was in your position, I'd just make doubly sure that I was wiping down surfaces, washing my hands thoroughly and following all reasonable precautions. As for reporting her to the CEO..... don't.

This. 100%.

From the sniping about whether other people’s purchases were ‘essential’ and who should be in the park, through to reporting neighbours for apparent guidance violations, Covid has altered my opinion of the British public, and not for the better.

I agree with the last few comments.
Is this one of ‘those’ threads though I wonder?

The OP has posted before on GN so I'm assuming it's genuine, sad to say.
It's a pity it's against the law to have a camera in the toilets ( insert sarcastic emoji)

If these suspected transgressions are referred to contradicts the companies additional Covid-19 H&S instructions then the OP need only report the matter to whoever is responsible for safety in the department/office/company.

The company then has a legal obligation to investigate the issue and also keep the name of the whistleblower anonymous. No other action need be taken by the OP.

????

She's acting in a risky way, careless with regards to her colleagues safety.
She's dangerous. Just as dangerous as a health and safety breach in normal times. She's undermining the Covid safe requirements of the workplace. Has her immediate manager/supervisor spoken to her about it.? Is she aware? There must be a disciplinary procedure in place if she continues to ignore health and safety like this.

Even on a hospital visit last week. I used the toilet and was able to wash my hands, but nothing there to wipe down surfaces. No idea how often someone goes in to clean it, I was just very careful!

The simplest solution will work - have you asked her, directly, rather than sniping with the rest of you, behind her back? Do you go to the loo immediately after she does, and smell the sing, to see if the scent of antiseptic is still lingering, before it has the time to dissipate, and that the soap is still 'wettish'? Or, must she come out with wet hands, which she then wipes on the seat of her jeans, to show that she has washed her hands? If she has Covid-19, you will not not get it because she does not wipe down the loo seat and the sink, believe me.

this is why the country is in such a mess with all these lockdowns as a small minority could not care less about other people its time these people get a grip of the situation once and for all for the safety of all wake-up and do the right thing

So the message is that being ultra careful and hygienic during a pandemic is not necessary?
It’s clear which posters haven’t had Covid, or lost someone dear through it.
Believe me, if you had experienced this dreadful virus, you would not be mocking the OP for being concerned.
As for not bothering about wiping down surfaces or washing hands , I despair.
I’m sitting here crying now as i’’m overwhelmed by the complacency and derision from people who don’t care.

Unless you are her line manager, I would pass on your concerns for the line manager to deal with. Being new you need to give your colleague the benefit of doubt but equally I do get your worries.
