Dealing with a pandemic is a new challenge for most of us. These webinars were organized as opportunities for companies in the natural resources sector and the heavy industrial construction/major turnaround sector to hear how their peers are evaluating and addressing the risks. As in other challenging times, we can share our experiences and learnings, we can learn from each other.
