Victoria has been under restrictions for a long time now; everyone\u2019s life has taken a back seat. Now that the restrictions have finally eased, people want to complete their pending works or begin planned works, which means there will be a lot more construction work available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The construction industry is better prepared this time to continue to \u201cbuild, build, and build\u201d. Construction leaders have moved quickly to adapt to the situation to recover as soon as possible. There are embracing technology wherever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the lockdown was announced, the construction sector had to deal with supply chain delays and temporary suspension of works. Now that raw materials and workers are available, the construction workers don\u2019t want any further delays to their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, when restarting, the most important thing to pay attention to is the safety of the workers. The right workwear, high-quality masks and sanitizer are all a crucial part of the new normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a blue-collar worker planning to get back to work, make sure you get yourself ready with all the essentials.
