Rules for the implementation of the kits in the establishments.

Depending on the distribution of workers in a company, it is possible to select several types of kits to protect more than 51 to 100 workers. The installation of several kits of this model may be suitable for multiples of 51 to 100 employees. For example, it is possible to install two kits for an area with 200 workers. It is obvious that such a large number of workers on the same floor requires space. It therefore implies a large area to cover. If we consider the principle of access to a kit in less than 30 seconds of walking. It seems more practical to us to opt for more medium formats and to distribute them strategically.
