Sneeze Guard to Protect our Employees and Customers

What is a Sneeze Guard?

A sneeze guard is an acrylic sheet or glass screen protector designed to protect food or people from exposure to respiratory droplets, which are dispensed when coughing, sneezing, or even talking. Sneeze guard has been in use in restaurants for decades.

How high should a Sneeze Guard be?

A sneeze guard mounted to a checkout counter should be between 24 and 36 inches high to effectively create Plexiglass Barrier. The acrylic sheet can be hung by a picture rail, a drop ceiling hanger, or an architectural picture hanging hardware.

The Evolution of Glass Shield

Also known as sneeze guards, glass shields were originally invented to prevent contamination at buffets and self-service food counters. Restaurateur Johnny Garneau wanted to protect food displays at his Pennsylvania- and Ohio-based restaurants.

Because he wanted customers to have a pleasant, germ-free dining experience, Garneau commissioned engineers to design a protective barrier, now called a sneeze guard by designation. In 1958, the first sneeze guard debuted at Johnny Garneau’s American Style Smorgasbord in Monroeville, Penn.

One year later, he filed a patent.

Today

Sneeze guard, glass shield, acrylic sheet, plexiglass, and other protective barriers are being deployed in other settings such as grocery, retails stores, clinics, hairdressers, and much more, to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Sneeze guards are not medical devices, but they have qualities contributing to slowing down the transmission. In combination with appropriate procedures, sneeze guards can provide a valuable asset to limiting the spread of germs.
