The end of a short week, but a good one nevertheless.
From Monday we really got into the final framework presentation of the H&S System. Putting the finishing touches on the framework and accordingly making sure that everyone knows what is expected of them and how they should convey our ideas to Management. It was fun and from the time when we started putting our ideas is a process flow it made more sense to all us. It showed us where to from here…it made it easier to identify what was missing, etc. Although there were some points that we needed to add afterwards, all in all the presentation went well and we were able to communicate our ideas better than last time. Personally I am really happy with the way things went, and I think I speak on behalf of all of us in the PDP.
Where we are now, is where the tire meets the road. We need to refine the system even more, but that comes with working it more. The real implementation of the system starts now, and we’ll have to see how that pans out, but we are confident and if we stick to the framework, and we apply ourselves, I am confident that something good will be the end result! We will write about the progress as we go along, but for now it is time to enjoy the Easter Weekend.

A new born week…..
This week, our Coordinator and his wife had their first baby! Congratulations Wesley and Tarryn, we share your joy! Apart from that we did some training observations this week and worked more on IRCA’s Health and Safety System.
Well the observations were just that, observations. We accompanied the students from 8am to midday. This gave us plenty of time to thoroughly observe and see what skills the trainer uses to get his message across to the learners. I think it was valuable and we all learnt something from the observations, whether it be how to do things better or not how to do things….
With regard to the Health and Safety system – I feel like we made decent progress this week, but we are still sometimes disagreeing on what should be first and what should follow, etc. But that was quickly sorted out, as we asked some knowledgeable people about it and they made it clearer for us. We had our starting point sorted but now, being able to distinguish what was supposed to be in the framework and what not, was the next stumbling stone. I think what was most valuable this week, was the way we communicated amongst each other and how we were able to arrive at some point of agreement of how things were to be done and how we wanted to move forward. As with all group exercises some people moved to the background to some extent, but in time the participation picked up and we all made some kind of contribution.
So all in all, I think this was a good week, and hopefully what we have included in our framework presentation makes the cut, because it was not only scrutinised by all of us, but also by some more experienced people who thought it was in pretty much in line.
So I hope everyone has a good Friday and weekend.
Stay classy guys….
