Outgoing MD – FEMA

Since joining FEMA in 1969, Thelma Pugh has spent the better part of 48 years promoting health and safety in the construction industry. From her humble beginnings as a Retention Fund Clerk, she worked her way up the organisation, which saw her become the CFO and later moved into her current position as MD, after the retirement of the late Cliff Saville. Thelma’s personal motto is that “Nobody, in our industry, should be dying for a job”.

She worked very closely with health and safety organisations, across the country in their effort to make the construction industry a safer place to work in. She has been nominated for The South African Health and Safety Wall of Fame award, which takes cognisance of her efforts. Thelma leaves office on 31st March 2017 and we wish her well in her retirement.
