We require all staff, visitors and truck drivers to scan out QR Codes through out the sites. We have now changed to the RMS QR Code. This is to keep safe protocol in place.
At Macka’s we value the safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers and suppliers. Currently we are actively monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID19) situation and we are implenting our business contingency plans to keep our employees and sites safe.
We wanted to take this opportunity to share with you what we are doing to make sure we are reducing the risk of spreading the virus across our sites.
From today onwards we ask that Sales Representatives and visitors please not visit our site to help reduce the risk of spreading this virus by implementing social distancing. All Inductions will be processed via a email link and all washing out of trucks must be carried out using gloves.
Please be aware that we are more than happy to continue to do business with you as usual over the phone.

Robert said, “I went as an ambassador for Macka’s Sand and Soil as well as the Australian sand industry as a whole. Links were made with some fantastic people and, I believe, based on mutual respect and understanding. In fact, I had a great time and learned a lot, not just about the Asian industry, but about their rich cultures as well.”
