1. To control and ensure the safety and health, and security as well as fire protection at work site throughout this period;
2. To ensure all construction works are free from any damage or possibility from being stolen;
3. To ensure documents and project records are safe at work site;
4. To record photos of project progress at work site on the current day;
5. To take all necessary steps to ensure that all of your obligations to the work are continued after the prohibition directives

We here at NRMCA understand that this fight will not be easy for all, but individually or as a company or association we need to do our part. We are doing our part in social solidarity, and we are all hopeful that this 2 weeks will ease the spread of COVID-19. We thank you for your support and patience as we work together to bring you the latest update from time to time.
