What kind of Scaffolding can be done during at Level 4?
We are currently open and working on some essential services in the Industrial sector.
One of our projects is in assisting Pacific Steel (Blue Scope) factory on maintenance work to get the furnace up and running again. We’re glad to still be able to provide our services to Pacific Steel at this difficult time as they are key to New Zealand infrastructure and the economy. We’re pleased to be able to provide the support we can to aid their business so they can continue to supply essential steel products to the construction industry. Keeping the construction industry in business is our shared goal.
As we see it the construction & building industry is one big supply chain that is key to New Zealand’s economy and we’re working hard to do our part, working in the best way possible to ensure the industry keeps ticking and doing so in the safest way for everyone involved.
How are Network Scaffolding Services approaching Level 3?
While we are on a reduced service we are taking the time to work on a comprehensive plan and protocol that is in line with Level 3 health and safety procedures and will provide an update on this as soon as we have it.
