Welfare during Covid ...

Recent phone calls to FISA have included several reporting that newly ordered welfare units/parts to build your own, are delayed due to manufacturing delays with Covid shutdowns.

Site welfare remains a necessary part of a site; and is still required.  If you are awaiting a new welfare unit/completion of a welfare unit; then you may need to look at a temporary measure for site provision in the meantime.  This may mean the need to hire in a unit/borrow a site unit.  FISA Welfare Guide 806 offers a range of examples, and you need to look at what is available and site requirements (size of facility needed etc).
