Labour Weekend And The 'She'll Be Right" Mentality

Matt Piggin |

Here it comes ...........

A massive change in the Kiwi psyche.

Labour weekend marks a major change in the way Kiwi's think (even if it rains), we start planning all those DIY projects that we want to achieve over the coming summer months, particularly those outdoor jobs like building a fence, painting the roof, water blasting the house, staining the deck or even 'no Christmas holiday this year I am painting the whole house'

We were having a chat how when the sun comes out and you start to get on to these jobs, you pull the expired sunblock out of the cupboard, find an old singlet, pop on a cap and the Kiwi trustee jandals.

We are really quick to utter the "She Will Be Right" and get stuck in to the job at hand.

Summer is a great time, we feel positive and ready to go, the sunshine gives us plenty of that much needed vitamin D after the long winter months, but remember this is the NZ sun and too much exposure can be more harmful than beneficial.

Take a moment to check that your sunblock is good, that your ladder is sound, your spray hose has not perished and that what you are planning on doing is the safe way to do it.

At Millin we have a range of solutions to keep you safe whether its respiratory protection when sanding, sun screens and sun hats for outdoor work, ladders and scaffolding for height access or super comfy work boots to protect those feet.

So whatever you choose to do this labour weekend be safe especially in the sun!
