Master Builders East Cape, South Africa

Keith was honoured to be invited to speak to young Construction Industry SMME delegates as part of the Master Builders East Cape Mentorship Programme.

The talk, held at East Cape Training Campus earlier this month, focused on the vital role that fire safety and occupational health & safety play on construction sites, including:

🚒 Building Site Fire Safety
🚨 Evacuation Procedures
🔥 Fire Risk Assessments
🌡️ Identifying Heat Sources
📋 Fire Emergency Plans
🦺 The Importance of Safety Files

Keith was incredibly impressed by the enthusiasm, engagement and insightful questions from the learners. It was a privilege to share practical knowledge and experience with the next generation of construction industry leaders.

A huge thank you to the Masters Builders East Cape for the invitation. We’re looking forward to the next one.
