LIVIERO WINS NATIONAL SAFETY AWARDS
Liviero Building was the proud winner of three awards in the 2016 Master Builders South
Africa (MBSA) National Safety Competition.
This outstanding achievement is the result of the exceptional attention to detail and
meticulous care taken by Liviero site teams in their work areas, comments Brad Boertje,
managing executive of Liviero Building. “Our construction teams’ commitment to constantly
striving for the safest sites sets them apart, and this dedication is reflected in our latest
results in the MBSA’s prestigious, annual industry competition,” he states.
Liviero’s Eskom Wilge site took top honours in Category H, for contracts between R300
and R500 million, while the contractor’s Jelf Taylor Crescent site won Category F, for contracts
between R75 and R150 million. Liviero’s Pavilion team took first place in the competition’s
Category E, for contracts between R25 and R75 million.
Liviero was also among the top achievers in Categories D and G. The company’s Midlands
Medical Centre site secured third place in Category G, for contracts between R150 and
R300 million, and its KwaMnyandu Pedestrian Bridge contract took fourth place in Category
D, for contracts between R10 million and R25 million.
The MBSA National Safety Competition follows on from regional events in which Liviero
also excelled, Boertje reports. The company’s KwaZulu-Natal sites won five regional awards
in this stage of the competition. In addition to the many site-related awards, Liviero Plant
was placed second in the regional competition for plant and storage yards.
“We at Liviero are extremely proud of the efforts of all staff and stakeholders in consistently
setting the highest standards in occupational health and safety,” Boertje concludes.
