Health & Safety Competition

The Master Builders South Africa (MBSA) National Safety Competition (NSC) is the Flagship for Health and Safety in the Building Industry and culminates in a National Awards Ceremony in September each year.

 

Entry to the NSC is only by way of participation in the East Cape MBA's prestigious Regional Safety Competition. The competition is held in each of the three branches of the Association with local awards presented at our MBA Events throughout the Southern and Eastern Cape. The Regional Competition is conducted using the same criteria as the MBSA Star Grading System and the top regional scorers in each Category are entered into the National Competition.

 

Winners of the Competition, which has numerous categories for different sizes and type of projects, receive wide acclaim for their achievements but also enjoy the benefits of improved Health & Safety compliance on their building sites. 

 

Subcontractor categories now also form part of the competition in recognition of the huge role that our subcontractors play in achieving compliance on site.
