Questions about clearing up, dust and the hoist
Is a site cleaner the same as a labourer?
No, a labourer helps one tradesperson or crew. You work for the whole site.
Do I also clean homes before handover?
You leave a home broom clean, so free of waste and swept. Making it dust-free is then work for a post-construction cleaner.
Why can I not sweep dry?
Dust from stone and concrete is harmful to breathe in. So you vacuum or wet the floor first.
May I operate the construction hoist?
Only once you have been shown how on that project.
Do I get the higher wage straight away?
No, as a newcomer you begin on the starting wage. The job advert states your hourly wage.
Do I pay anything when I register?
No, you pay nothing to register or apply, and you need no CV.
