Presentations
This week we were working on our presentations that we presented today.
I think were we all made our first mistake was taking up to much time wit the
slides and not preparing more, but all in all this was our first attempt and we learned a lot from it.
If I just look at my first at temp on Thursday and compare it with the assessment of today, there
was a major improvement (thanks to the help of Wesley).
this was a very good learning experience and i realised that this is an essential skill that can
be used in many different ways!
I Just want to thank Wesley and Carel for their input.
You can see that Wesley has thought this program through and is fully committed to our development.

Today I'm working on my presentation for Friday.
So far it's going well, except for sometimes getting a better example than shown in the original
framework. So far I've extended my knowledge on incident investigation through some research
I've done.
Today was bit of a more relaxed environment, nice for a change not to have to concentrate for a full 7 hours!

23 Jan 2009 Riskmaq part 1
What a week!
I don't think I have ever had to or maybe wanted to take in so much in a 4 day period, the test is over and done with, and it went very well!
Outcome.
Very much like the MSRM coarse we did, just a lot more in depth. Basically risk management concepts and systems. I must be honest and say that I'm relieved that we are not doing a coarse next week.
Mark Anderson was a excellent trainer with his expertise on the law, as well as risk management. It is a real privilege for me to have been taught by the IRCA trainers, they all have a great wealth of knowledge and experience.

What a day!
Today we got the test over and done with and it went extremely well if you look at the marks achieved. Like I said, I aimed high and I am happy with my results!
I want to thank Pieter Hamman again for the tremendous effort that he has put into the program. It really excites me that he wants to get involved in the PDP program, because of the passion that he puts into his work. I've spoken to him a few times when we had a chance and I found out that he has a lot of experience in most of risk management processes.
The important bit that came out of this coarse for me was, how to integrate safety systems and how to make them work for you. I'm just itching to get out and see how it all comes together in the working environment.
I'm going to be the new health and safety rep for the BIT and training departments, and had a discussion with Matt and he said he will assist us all in making it work!
I'm off to the farm for the weekend to relax a bit, because next week is going to be a big one as we start with the RISKMAQ part 1.
Cheers!

Very interesting day.
We did a exercise using the causation model as a tool for the Challenger disaster and I am
very happy to see that as a group we are able to work together.
Whilst busy with tab 14 dealing with incident investigation and root cause analysis I became confused, because I was sure I wanted
to do tab2, but tab 14 was becoming very appealing.
The rest of today will consist of studying because
tomorrow is the big test and I'm aiming high!

Today we continued with our MSRM course.
We did video exercises on the Bophal and airplane disasters. This was very constructive because we could put some theory to practice!
All in all it was a good informative day, and I need to go and do my homework now so that Ican be ready for tomorrow!

Today we continued with our MSRM course and a lot of interesting discussions came up about the topics of today.
We did a few exercises as a group which was very practical and helpful.
Today I decided that I will be doing tab 2 of the course for my assessment.
The tab deals with causes and consequences of incidents and has a lot to do with risk assessments as well as the causation model.
This part of the risk management process interests me a lot and I also think that it is one of the most important functions of the process.
.
It was very good day and I thank Pieter for sharing his experience and insight!

MSRM (modern SHEQ risk management) was the order of the day!
Pieter Hammann is presenting the coarse, and once again I could see that there was a lot of passion and experience!
This will be the second time that I will be doing this coarse, but i am exited about it because the knowledge that i will be receiving will be from a different angle this time around! ( Best of both worlds)
We completed four tabs today and a lot of info was taken in! The significant part of today's training was the Causation model, I have learned that this is a very powerful and important tool in risk management.

Today was very intersting!
To be totally honest I was not completely satisfied with my test results, If this was school
I would have been jumping for joy, but this is NOT school. The preparation was not the problem, I was simply to hasty to get the test over and done with, because of that, I did not read the questions thoroughly.
How ever this is not a train smash, the good thing is I learnt from it and it should not happen again!
After the test we went for a team building exercise (Go carting)!
Everyone enjoyed it and I personally think it was a great success! I must also say that I was very impressed with Gamotsegang's driving skills.
With its ups and downs this was a great day to end the week!

Today we continued with our coarse and learned a lot more!
David took control of two of the modules and showed that he has a lot of knowledge on the laws and acts. As the the days go on I can see that everyone is getting more comfortable with each other, there is also a lot more interaction happening.
The PDP group were appointed as the new Health and Safety reps for the IRCA building, and we were sent to go and do our first Hazard Identification which was very interesting!
Tomorrow we will be writing our test and i hope it goes well!

Today we started with our first course called Health and safety Representative course.
Carel Swart Presented the coarse to us, which was very exiting because of the passion
and excitement shown by himself.
The course was presented in a very relaxed but professional environment, and a lot was taken in today!

I'm very exited to be part of the PDP program. the only problem is that im a bit under the weather and the exitment does not always show.
The first two days was very well planned, and I'm sure we all know what is expected of us and it is not going to be easy but not impossible.
Today we really got behind the mentoring concept which is important because it is going 'to be a crucial part of the PDP program.
we also received our Laptops today and immediately started to communicate electronically which was very exiting!
