On Friday night Kapitol won the Excellence in Health and Safety Award at the 2024 Master Builders Association of Victoria Excellence in Construction Awards and we couldn’t be prouder.
The project used to demonstrate excellence in health and safety was our NEXTDC M2 stage 5 expansion works. In the 5 years we’ve worked with NEXTDC, their team has closely collaborated with ours on health and safety initiatives. They are constantly challenging our teams on how we can do better, often well above industry standards, so we feel this award is as much theirs as it is ours.
Master Builders noted – ‘Health and safty on the M2 stage 5 expansion works project was integral, not only because of the high-risk nature of activities on the project but also because the works were undertaken within a live data centre. Multiple safety initiatives were implemented, going above minimum industry standards such as 6-points of PPE with the addition of ‘longs and longs.’ Kapitol adapted online systems and employee and subcontractor induction methodology to enable new processes and procedures that exceeded safety standards.’
A big congratulations to our project teams and to the other winners and nominees on the night.
