KUALA LUMPUR: MGB Bhd, a subsidiary of LBS Bina Group Bhd, has won two Safety and Health Assessment System in Construction (SHASSIC) Safety Excellence Awards at QUEST 2026, recognising its commitment to workplace safety and health across its construction projects.
The awards were presented to MGB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MGB Construction & Engineering Sdn Bhd, for its Central Hub (AP8) and Idaman Perdana projects under the Anugerah Keselamatan Cemerlang Kategori Projek Swasta (Safety Excellence Award – Private Project Category).
In a statement, MGB said both projects were developed by Kemudi Ehsan Sdn Bhd, with MGB Construction & Engineering appointed as the main contractor.
Organised annually by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, QUEST recognises industry achievements in construction safety and health, environmental sustainability and quality.
The 2026 awards covered several assessment programmes, including SHASSIC, the Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC), MyCREST and Sustainable INFRASTAR.
The double win underscores MGB’s emphasis on integrating safety into its construction operations, from risk identification and preventive measures to site supervision and workforce awareness.
SHASSIC is an independent assessment system that evaluates occupational safety and health performance at construction sites through three components: documentation reviews, site inspections and interviews with construction personnel.

MGB, a construction and property development solutions provider as well as an Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast concrete manufacturer, said the recognition reflected its efforts to make safety an integral part of daily site operations.
Group executive chairman Tan Sri Dr Lim Hock San said construction projects carried responsibilities beyond delivering developments, particularly towards the people involved in building them.
“Safety must never be compromised in the pursuit of progress. Receiving recognition for two projects is encouraging, and it reflects the dedication of our teams in maintaining safe working environments. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to strengthening our safety culture and ensuring that every individual understands their role in protecting one another.”
MGB’s approach to occupational safety and health is supported by its Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) management practices, including Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), safety training and permit-to-work procedures for high-risk construction activities.
These measures are complemented by the group’s adoption of ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management systems.
Through these practices, MGB seeks to identify potential risks at an early stage, strengthen compliance with established safety procedures and encourage greater accountability among project teams, subcontractors and workers.
Datuk Richard Lim, executive director and chief executive officer of MGB said safety performance is built through consistent action at every stage of construction.
“From planning and risk assessments to daily site supervision, every decision plays a role in preventing incidents. These awards belong to our project teams, safety personnel, supervisors, subcontractors and workers who put these practices into action.
“Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our processes, enhance workforce competency and encourage a proactive approach to safety across all our developments,” he said.
The two awards add to MGB’s track record in occupational safety and health management systems, reflecting its continued efforts to strengthen workplace safety as part of its operational and sustainability priorities.
As MGB expands its construction capabilities and undertakes more diverse developments, the Group remains committed to embedding safety throughout the construction process, ensuring that its long-term growth is supported by responsible practices and the well-being of its workforce.
