PETALING JAYA: All construction work will not be allowed to operate during the nationwide total lockdown starting Tuesday (June 1), says Senior Minister (Works) Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Those performing pest control at construction sites, such as the spraying of pesticides at construction sites to prevent the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes and other pests, will be allowed to operate. He reminded contractors to appoint safety and health officers at construction sites, who will be in charge of monitoring SOP compliance. Fadillah also added that project supervisors will be responsible for ensuring full SOP compliance while construction work is taking place during the MCO. "To ensure that Covid-19 doesn't spread from construction sites to the local community, restrictions on travelling in and out of construction sites and workers’ quarters must be stepped up."
