This week we were given the task of compiling and presenting the Health and Safety System for IRCA Head office.
At first it seemed like pretty straight forward, but then came all the different ways it had to address the different problems, how it was supposed to be structured, etc. Now don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with the assignment, but I didn’t feel that it was clearly communicated. We struggled for two days to get behind what was expected of us. The assignment seemed straight forward, as I mentioned, but then we needed to make conform to what the idea of the output was supposed to be. I found it a little tedious, but in the end value adding. I again learned that communication is an essential part of business and ensuring that what you are saying is correctly interpreted by the people you are saying it to , is probably the most important element of communication.
The idea of piecing together a Health and Safety structure/process seems so easy...tell everyone not to do stupid things, and there we go... If only!!!! You need to start a the right place and then ensure that the process flow is of such a nature that it not only makes logical sense, but it also conforms to legislation, standards, etc. After we presented to Wesley and Jo, I felt like it was the first time that I understood what was expected of us. Now that we went through this week, I think the rest of the assignment will be easier to piece together.
Looking forward to the weekend and next week’s Train the Trainer. I also look forward to completing the structure/framework for the Health and Safety System of IRCA.
Enjoy the weekend and Stay Classy Guys...
