What's Happening in Krugersdorp, Gauteng…

No industry is immune to this COVID-19 crisis and construction is no exception. Covid-19 is affecting the construction industry with projects facing problems like supply chain issues, planning and inspections coming to a halt, and new measures to ensure the health and safety of the workforce. New social distancing measures have come into focus as governments enact their approaches to minimise the spread of the COVID-19. This has caused an increased demand for printing services and signage.

Construction sites require extra printed Signs during COVID-19

With the return to work of the construction sector, the South African government has issued additional health and safety requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Many Quantity Surveyors, contractors, and other stakeholders in the built environment are left grappling to determine the way forward on active construction projects as well as tenders for new projects.

The construction sector is one of South Africa’s major economic contributors, and it will be a sector that government prioritises due to the labour-intensive activities it offers. The new guidelines by the ASAQS will not only assist Quantity Surveyors, contractors, and employers on how to minimise the risks of COVID-19 transmission and illness to themselves and their employees on construction sites, but it will also provide the much-needed clarity on the guidelines, responsibilities, and expense accountability.

While health and safety has always been a part of Quantity Surveyors’ cost reporting, it is now necessary to look at this part of tender documents with much greater scrutiny. Many stakeholders in the built environment, however, are still confused about who needs to enforce the regulations on-site, how the new health and safety specifications should be added to original tender documents, how to determine the cost of implementing the new directives, as well as who is responsible for these costs.

Printing services are necessary for the construction industry

The printing industry is essential as it services most industries during COVID-19. The construction industry can use Print for construction site signage, public safety Posters and signs, special notices and letters to residents, and worker safety posters, signs, and guidelines. 

Signs are an important part of any well-operated construction area. Customised signs allow for your company's brand to be seen by workers, visitors, and passersby. They can also help to create a safe environment in a setting full of unique dangers. Provide signage for your construction site to keep civilians and your employees safe.
