Five regional awards

Liviero Building was also the runner-up in the competition's Category F, for projects between R75m and R150m, and in Category H, for contracts between R300m and R500m. The National MBSA Safety Awards are competed for by the regional competition winners. Liviero Building secured no less than five regional awards, all of which then went forward to the national competition.

"We are extremely proud of our achievements in the construction industry's leading health and safety competition. I must commend the outstanding team effort of our Liviero Building executives and staff that helped us bring home these awards," CEO Neil Cloete said.

The MBSA National Safety Competition saw around 45 sites judged, according to strict criteria, when work peaked. MBSA appoints independent, qualified and experienced auditors to assess the sites, using the Master Builders audit system.
