24.01.2022 Being 290m above the ground is enough to make anyone nauseous, but for this Sydney man its simply an average days work. Nuno Nunes spends six days a week an eye-watering 290m high, driving the tower crane at Crown Sydney. Dont look down Nunes! #DontLookDown #Construction #Sydney #MECONInsurance #Insurance https://ab.co/2OapTNg

14.01.2022 A picture paints a thousand words or perhaps just one unacceptable. Wearing dual hats, the NSW building commissioner has been getting his heart rate up exercising as well as first hand witnessing the unacceptable work site conditions during his morning walks. Covid-19 is no excuse for dangerous worksites and David Chandler makes no apologies for naming and shaming those he caught out!... #mecon #constructionindustry #Coronavirus #Covid19 https://www.linkedin.com//cutting-safety-standards-corne/

The recent GD Law newsletter is an interesting read looking at some of these changes. #mecon #constructionindustry #Insurance https://bit.ly/2Pp3Ra6

10.01.2022 **PLEASE READ** Some very practical advice for employers and your obligations during the COVID-19 outbreak from Moray & Agnew Lawyers: A few important points from the article include: You have obligations to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the workforce for employee welfare to be compliant with your obligations under Work Health Safety (WHS) legislation.... Safe Work Australia has recognised that employers will not be able to completely eliminate the risk of workers contracting coronavirus while carrying out work, but they must do all that is reasonably practicable to introduce appropriate control measures and communicate these measures to all workers. It is possible that employees may have an entitlement to workers compensation if they contract coronavirus. For example, if the employment involves travel to an area with a known viral outbreak, activities that include engagement or interaction with people who have contracted the virus or activities that contravene Department of Health recommendations. https://workplace.moray.com.au//work-in-the-time-of-covid/
09.01.2022 The City of Melbourne has extended construction site hours in an attempt to keep the industry going by supporting social distancing requirements and minimising risk during the COVID19 pandemic.

05.01.2022 Rebuilding after devastating fires is a hard decision. Unfortunately the reality is that even after the decision to rebuild is made, it could take up to 5 years to rebuild due to resource shortages and bushfire building requirements that delay reconstruction. #MECON #constructionindustry #insurance https://www.abc.net.au//bushfire-rebuild-could-ta/11922002

03.01.2022 While travel, tourism and hospitality have fallen victim to the coronavirus pandemic, construction continues as the industry is deemed too important to the economy to be shutdown. The construction industry accounts for 10 per cent of NSWs economy and directly employs about 380,000 people. But measures such as social distancing and staggered shifts and break times have increased costs and lowered productivity as companies seek to keep projects on schedule.... But the question of who is liable for additional costs raised difficult contractual questions, which is fraying nerves and not making it easy to keep the industry open. #mecon #constructionindustry #Coronavirus #Covid19 https://www.smh.com.au//we-are-in-a-war-why-the-constructi
