A construction crew on a hot Melbourne morning is already halfway through a road upgrade when the site‑manager realises the new hires haven’t been issued any hi‑vis gear. The foreman scrambles, the safety officer raises a warning, and the whole shift stalls while they hunt for compliant vests. It’s a scenario that could have been […]
When you walk onto a bustling construction site in Brisbane and see a sea of bright orange‑red vests, you know the crew is ready to work safely.
