Ms Wawn said MBA has also teamed up with the CFMEU and the AWU to promote an even stronger safety culture in the industry and community during the Covid-19 crisis.

“However, we do recognise the substantial cultural change that we are asking everyone in our industry to make.

“Everyone including workers, subcontractors and management are used to completing building projects as efficiently as possible.

Ms Wawn said that although social distancing was slowing down work, it was better than the alternative of no work at all, and therefore everyone in the construction industry had a responsibility to do the right thing and keep the community safe.
