In his address to those present Mohau Mphomela, Executive Director of MBA North said: “These Awards were developed with the main objective of encouraging organizations to establish effective systems for managing occupational safety and health and to instil the aspect of a safe culture in the daily duties of workers and employers. A safe and healthy workforce will not only be beneficial for your organization but also for the benefit of the country and the people of South Africa.”

Gerhard Roets, Construction Health and Safety Manager, MBA North
Construction Health and Safety Manager, MBA North, Gerhard Roets provided insight to the site audit and judging process, noting that all 60 entries are indeed winners in their own right, and that the exceptionally high standard of all entries made judging all the more difficult. Roets congratulated all entrants on their achievements in the 2017 MBA North Safety Awards competition. “Eight of these winning entries now go through to the Master Builders South Africa National Health and Safety Competition,” said Roets. “And we wish them every success.”
The winners of the Master Builders South Africa National Health and Safety Competition will be announced at Congress in Cape Town in September.
