The MBSA 2021 National Safety Awards

Master Builders SA (MBSA) is the leading national representative body of the country’s construction and building industry, and the health and safety of its workforce is central to its mission. Our primary safety objective is to prevent work-related injuries and occupation-related diseases, as well as the protection and promotion of the health of the industry’s workforce.

The annual MBSA National Safety Competition is an important part of this mission and the Covid-19 pandemic makes this year’s competition even more significant. Since the annual ceremony itself could not be held, the MBSA decided to use its annual general meeting as the forum to announce the results and hand over the awards.

The competition has 10 categories and received 39 entries from MBSA member companies over a period of six weeks, beginning on 2 August 2021. Occupational health and safety officer Agreement Shondlana and MBA Free State senior advisor Stephan Claassen oversaw the procedures and convened the internal judging panel.

WINNERS AND ACHIEVERS

Entrants achieving first place in the competition also receive a special category of “shields”. These are allocated to highlight challenges and achievements specific to each segment. This year we celebrate 10 such achievements.

THE TOP THREE

Placing first, second and third in the Master Builders Health and Safety Competition signifies true commitment, dedication and action in improving the lives of our people, the reputation of our industry and the operational standards to which we aspire. MBSA congratulates all who worked to further this critical and shared objective.
