Shew... What a week!!! The last time I felt this way was when we were on site.
This has been a fruitful week filled with lots of learning and presenting.

We had the pleasure of attending, what many may call a Full Induction, where we had International guests and new employees. The aim of the Induction was to familiarise us with the IRCA operations, staff and clientele. And we achieved just that. Though we knew the basic operations and dynamics of IRCA, we still managed to learn a lot. I think I just realised this week, what a big organisation this is and how motivated everyone is to upholding our name. It's a great feeling being part of such a phenomenal industry and family.

Although we were attending these presentations we also had our fair share of presenting to prepare for. One of our "favourite" trainers came in this week to assist us in preparation for our own presentation. We are being assessed on our training and presenting skills next week. Reece played an imperative role in our development and "upskilling" so to say. We learned a lot about training, ourselves and him in this week. We are all getting the hang of this training concept and will hopefully survive the assessment next week.

The prospect of our move to the BIT department is nearing and we are very excited about the projects. We are all anxious to learn and understand the BIT process and ofcourse we're looking forward to gaining the experience and knowledge.

These are really exciting time for me personally, as I can feel the growth in character. Not only am I applying to my work but also to my personal life. It's really a great experience working with the PDP Squad and IRCA family.

I hope the next week bears nothing but smiles, laughter and joy for all of us.
With assessments on the way, we can only hope for the best as we have really gone the extra mile to prepare.

For now though, we are all exhausted and need the weekend rest.
So keep well and be good.
Out.

It's been a while since we all blogged but I guess that can only mean that IRCA is keeping us on our feet. We have been busy with numerous tasks and I think it's time I reflect on that and share the experience.

The last time we blogged, we were about to present our Health and Safety System Structure/Plan to Wes and Jo. That went very well and as a matter of fact we were given the go ahead and we are busy implementing the system. We have conducted a bassline risk assessment throughout the whole building and have even made our recoomendations on our identified critical few risks. The experience was very exciting, as we got to finally put our theoretical knowledge to practice. It felt as though we are making a posiitive contribution because people were voicing their concerns to us...

We are now busy with a plan of action on how to proceed with the implementation of the system and the continuation of it. We have been having meetings and discussions at I must say we really starting to feel important. The little contribution we are making is giving all of us a good confidence boost.

We are simultaneously preparing for our co-presentation for training modules. The idea is that we should be declared competent for training by the beginning of June. At this rate we will definitely make it because we are having dry-runs on a regular basis and presenting to each other. We are getting the gyst of the whole presenting thing.

All in all, though we have been really busy, it's been a total pleasure working with the team. In a strange way, we work well together and we keep each other grounded. We are slowly fitting into the big shoes of the IRCA employees and at this rate we'll definitely be SHEQ Professionals who will make an impact in this industry.

Keep up the good work guys.

Out.
