Creator Profile
My first lessons in safety did not come out of a book, it was written against the hard rock walls of a South African gold mine somewhere between 3000 and 9000 feet below surface. I did not have Lecturers, I had Mentors. Mentors in the form of real, tough mining men from both my supervisors and subordinates who shared their experiences with me. I listened and observed how each step you take is one to the next or a different risk level. Twenty seven years of reading the “mining-hieroglyphics” from those walls, told me never to assume anything, never to accept the obvious and never to allow what is not proven and accepted standard or procedure. Yes, I attended the official courses as well, and I enjoyed doing my own research and reading more beyond the class room curriculum and combining the theory with experience.
We had to remain alert and agile in our response to threats to ensure everybody is safe in that dark, warm and merciless environment where everything changes every day and where there are no constants. So I learned about conditions and attitudes you may not learn in other, more sterile and constant working environments.
Later in my career I became the person training other to work safely and ultimately, I became the Training Manager for a large gold mining company. It was a rewarding time and I learned a lot about people and about how men learn. My training is always aimed at enabling people to do things, not only knowing things.
I also spent five years being in charge of the training at a major construction site for a hydro-electric project.
Much of the time, I was assigned to developing course material or redeveloping and improving existing courses. I designed the lesson plans for many different types of machinery. Some called it my forte but I still enjoy this creative streak.
It is now time to pass my experience on to you and all the others that can make good use of it.
That is what this course, and others that will follow, is about. May it help you build a safe and successful career!
