Mask-wearing and use of QR codes will be the focus of the squad which will be comprised of officers from Liquor &; Gaming, SafeWork NSW, Fair Trading and the Food Authority.Under public health orders introduced in response to the latest outbreak, the Service NSW QR code and mask-wearing requirements were extended to include construction, manufacturing and warehousing, supermarkets and retail work sectors.Better Regulation and Innovation Minister Kevin Anderson said the rules came into effect from July 12.“Customer Service compliance inspectors will be monitoring businesses to make sure they are doing the right thing, keeping us all safe,” he said.“We know complying with new rules can be tough, which is why we will be workingclosely with businesses over the coming weeks to help them understand the newrequirements and ensure Covid safe practices.”Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello said it is vital that businesses are taking reasonable steps to ensure people entering their premises are checking-in, including for takeaway orders.The expanded requirements also now apply to staff and visitors to workplaces, such as maintenance workers, cleaners, electricians and delivery drivers.“The Service NSW QR code is not wallpaper, it’s there to protect your staff and customers as we battle the Delta variant,” Mr Dominello said.“The green tick on the Service NSW app is a safety stamp – it means the contact tracers can do their job keeping the community safe.“It is now mandatory to check-in at all workplaces, supermarkets and retail stores. It is vital that businesses are displaying the QR code correctly and taking reasonable steps to ensure people entering their premises check-in using their phone or digital sign-in sheet.”Under the orders, check-in and mask wearing rules now apply to staff and visitors such asmaintenance workers, cleaners, electricians and delivery drivers.
