Post Easter

My week prior easter holidays had plenty to do with presenting on IRCA's Health and Safety System I am involved in designing and development. Afterwhich all was left of it was to implement the system after being approved by management. It felt so great to be part of a meaningful exercise like this whereby I could contribute so much to the exercise. Prior joining IRCA, I used to cut news paper clips with requirements on SHEQ jobs. Seeing some of the requirements being designing, developing, and implementing safety systems; I thought to myself that it was quite a magic to get such systems in place. To begin with, I had no experience to relate my ability towards systems implementation, so after this go ahead by management, it got me inspired to look forward to the running of the system. When I knocked off on Thursday from work all I wanted to do was to enjoy my easter holidays...

During the holidays I had rest I owed my body for a long, long time most of the days. It was fun to enjoy my sleep and play with my little girl, Oratile. And my birthday on Saturday kind of pulled my pace a litte bit faster than I expected. I must say, holidays may be a nuisance at times from a business perspective (if it slows business down) but for guys like me; I would like them to stay on. I know for sure, my reason in this case is that this one really meant so much to me: for I managed to spend quality time with loved ones more than ever...though they think I am a risk practitioner for life.

The work one does around risk management goes beyond work hours, so managing risk will always be my second nature and that prepared me for a Tuesday morning for work...

Sweet and short

Last week I took a day off so that I may look for a car that I could buy. And I eventually found one, a Toyota Corolla in an immaculate condition. This is why I did not attend the obervations on Friday with the rest of the PDP on Riskmaq conducted by Carel Swart, but rather joined them on Monday afternoon due to the final paper work I had to attend to regarding my car registration.

Tuesday began with joining the observation team, which focused on training techniques by well-experienced mentors for the aim of learning how to present training courses in future. Learning how to put people at ease and facilitate a conducive learning environment is what appealed to my attention amongst the presentation skills I feel the need to develop. Though, often there was a lot to learn, I think developing a method to identify what I am likely to learn from a mix of different techniques the trainer may be using and are not explained to say the least.

Well, I am looking forward to us finishing the Occupational Health and Safety system which looks pretty much done. The structure seemed to trouble us a lot up until we agreed to disagree and look for the collective good to individual satisfaction.

I will be looking forward to preparations for copresenting after the system's structure is presented and accepted, hopefully by tommorrow Friday we will be finished.
