Since the last time I blogged a lot has happened!

To start with we attended a course called RCAT
which deals with root cause analysis techniques. This was presented by one of the mentors, Wim Nortier, and it was a very beneficial exercise. I cant wait to use this tool in the work environment it will be a great asset to any investigation.

After the course we were given much needed time to finish our assignments due to interviews that needed to be conducted at the office. This was a bit tricky because I found that the questions was a bit generic, but nothing too serious. At least it is done and out of the way!

This week our days was split into two by doing training observations in the mornings until 12:00
and then working on our health and safety system implementation for the rest of the day.

I learned a lot during this observation exercise and it refreshed a lot of info that I have already learnt. Still I would say you can only learn so much from an observation due to the fact that every persons presentation style will differ due to personality differences. So the next step will be taking that, that I have learned and combining it with my own personal skills and practice practice practice!!!

We have seen a lot of progress with the system and I am sure we are on the right track, but somehow it is still difficult putting different ideas, different perceptions in one format. A lot of this still comes down to perceptions and there is no written formal way of doing it, But I know we are being lead in a direction and I hope we can get there!

To sum it up all is well, I'm still excited as ever and I'm leaving the office with a happy, grateful feeling and very eager to see what the future holds!
