We have heard of builders receiving warnings for fines and of trades receiving fines and we don’t want this to happen to any of us.
The best thing we can do is continue to follow the rules and keep doing the right thing, which our incredible team have been doing – you have been amazing – and we thank you.
Please continue to wear your masks, practice good hygiene and social distancing and sign in and out of our HazardCo QR board (as well as the Service Victoria QR board that will also be on site shortly) to ensure safety and compliance on our jobsites, each and every time you visit.
