<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nConcor Contracts Manager Martin Muller highlights the significance of this recognition in a sector where fast tracking of building projects has become the norm. The considerable deadline pressure on such projects has the potential to compromise safe working practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is why safety needs to remain at the centre of our working culture every day, and why we prioritise the training and support that is given to our safety officers and representatives, our on-site team and our subcontractors,\u201d Muller says. \u201cIt is a real honour to see our safety team being recognised for their contribution – as their approach and commitment is critical to the success of our projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dube says her award has been a boost not only to her personal motivation as a safety manager, but a collective achievement for Concor\u2019s entire safety team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn award like this really motivates everyone and reinforces our commitment towards further improving our safety and project execution,\u201d she says. \u201cIt also affirms the valuable contribution we are making to the construction sector as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She emphasises that safety is not just about policies, systems and discipline – but equally about a shared culture of safety among colleagues who are concerned for each other\u2019s well-being. While acknowledging that a safety officer needs to have a strong character to perform their duties, Dube says their role is to empower and educate the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mamba concurs, saying that he joined the Concor safety team in 2016 to help build an approach to safety where site safety personnel are not just viewed as \u2018traffic officers\u2019 to be feared and obeyed. He notes that one of his main areas of focus is to ensure that colleagues do not confuse work experience with safety awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEven though a person has many years of experience on a construction site, they can still make mistakes if they do not embrace our safety culture,\u201d he explains. \u201cOur approach is to encourage everyone in our team to point out potential hazards and to help find and apply solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Concor\u2019s safety culture was in the spotlight at the recent Master Builders Association (MBA) North regional safety competition, with the company winning five coveted awards.
