To start of, today a lot of preparation and training paid off. I had to present on effective communication skills in the health and safety Representative course IRCA presented this week.
I originally prepared for critical task analysis, then changed to hazard identification and risk assessments and finally had to prepare for effective communication to fit in with the course schedule. I think whilst preparing for this tab it helped me to effectively communicate the material to the learners.
But on a serious note, it went very well and I was pleased to get positive feedback from the learners during the break! And if you consider that Jaco from the University of the Free state was attending to do an audit on the training (putting a lot of pressure on us) I am well pleased with the result.
Secondly, We have been trained on the Behavior Based Safety process to prep us for the Hotazel project for BHP Billiton. For me this is very exiting because I'm very interested in this field. The understanding I got from it was, it is a process to create a safety culture or to improve on it. I am very sure though that it is not as easy as it sounds! But if you listen to the successes the BIT department has already had, it makes it difficult not to believe in it. I'm also very excited to work such a dynamic and passionate team.
Last but not least, We have been tasked with doing a MQA Skills programme, we are currently busy doing the feasibility and the costing of the programme. This is a great opportunity to show our worth and be financially productive
so to put it in perspective, a lot has been done but a lot more is on it's way!
Nice one.Im glad to see that the hard work and dedication has paid off and that you see that it wasnt as bad as thought it was going to be in the beginning.
