An urgent request to build a Chemical storage shed for the Town swimming pool at Ngukurr has been answered by the RJCP Certificate 2 in Construction team.

Storage of Pool chemicals was identified as an urgent Work health and Safety issue and for the last few weeks the local fellas doing the Cert 2 in construction have been hard at it laying foundations for the shed under the supervision of Zac Phillipot and Dan Romeyn.

Zac Phillipot who is the RJCP Employment Coordinator at Ngukurr is impressed with the quality of the work being done. He said of the fellas,

“The team work has been great stuff… and the job has been done well."

This project supports the local community in two ways, the Pool area is made much safer and the work skills of the RJCP team are extended with valuable on the job training. This is one of a number of on the job training projects being undertaken in local towns and communities by RJCP job seekers.

The Chemical storage shed is due for completion in September.
