Hon KRIS FAAFOI (Minister of Broadcasting, Communications and Digital Media) on behalf of the Minister for Building and Construction: The Government has been working for some time to minimise the impact of COVID-19 and its economic consequences on construction firms and workers. We've been working to ensure people can return to work as promptly and safely as possible. Construction Health and Safety New Zealand, in conjunction with the joint Government and industry Construction Sector Accord, published detailed construction health and safety standards and protocols to help develop a control plan. While everyone wants to get back to a work site, we must do it safely. A return to a higher alert level is the worst-case scenario for the industry and our economy. Anyone wanting more information on those protocols can visit building.govt.nz, where a full range of advice is available to them on how to operate under alert levels 3, 2, and 1.
