I  lecture on High Voltage - Low Voltage Regulations, Mechanical Regulations, Risk Assessment, Root Cause Analysis, Incident Investigation, Coaching & Mentoring, Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome Awareness (HAVS) & Whole Body Vibration Awareness (WBV), Planned Task Observations (PTOs) & Inspections, Situation Awareness Training in the Manufacturing, Industrial and Commercial industries.

Historically, I have been training people (Kids and Adults alike) since I have been 14 years old, practicing martial arts as a teenager with my own Dojo, progressing to Military service after school, became an Instructor, training Infantry soldiers for 12 years and spending time in, and training in military Intelligence during the same period in the Military Reserve Services with Situation Awareness skills as a crucial element in Bush War tactical skills and training the Public and Farmers in Situation Awareness Observation Skills during the 1980's with regards to looking for "Sign" of hostile trespassing on their properties and in general when going about their day-to-day business. 

Working in the Power Generation Industry since 1980, I trained new staff in the Power Generating  Industry, relating to Auxiliary Plant, Boilers and Turbines, Electrical Operating Desk (Control Room operations), presenting Electrical (HV & LV) and Mechanical Regulations, Risk Assessment, Arc Flash Protection, for Operating Staff, Maintenance Staff, as well as Contractors' staff. Situation Awareness 360 Concept training is added to the Risk Assessment training process to enhance Hazard Mitigation abilities.

I also regularly present Situation Awareness 360 overview training, on request, in the form of a Morning Workshop to businesses and Contractors, for employees from Managers right down to illiterate labourers, to highlight the necessity of "learning to pay attention to what you are doing" to improve safety culture. I find that even experienced Safety Officers and Safety Managers find the concept and principles of Situation Awareness 360 surprisingly informative as a supplement to their formal Safety Training regimes.

To me that is not surprising, as Situation Awareness principles, as a specialized subject, is not presented as part of any safety training anywhere in the world, except that "Continuous Risk monitoring, Near miss reporting, etc." is stated as a statuary requirement in Regulatory Requirements, but does not state "How". Naturally, standard, run-of-the-mill Risk Assessment training does not cover this specialized training skills in general, which makes it an absolute necessity to make this training part and parcel of your safety training programs.

Situation Awareness 360 will teach you how to develop your Observation Skills and learn how to train your brain to intentionally pay attention to what happens around you and pay attention to detail when the situation requires you to. This skill is an essential element in all the safety courses and training anywhere in the world and are thus embedded in my other courses on safety as mentioned above.

My experience within the Power Generation industry spans more than 41 years.

I am a registered and accredited Training Material Designer, Developer, Evaluator and Presenter, Training Instructor, and Assessor, actively engaged in developing new training material, improving existing training manuals and delivery mechanisms for improving effective training outcome results.

Recent re-development projects include:

1.) Power Generation Steam Generator and Turbines - Development and re-development of all Training Modules, including all Assessment Material for South Africa's Eskom Generation Division-Camden Power Station.

2.) Complete re-development of OHS ACT based Low Voltage / Mechanical Regulations Training Module, including all Assessment Material for Eskom Generation Division.

3.) Updating and editing of Electrical Operating Desk Generic and Plant Specific Training Material, including Assessment Material.

4.) All re-development included front page info and graphics in the material.

Update since 2023:

Freshly developed the following Safety courses which will follow soon on Udemy:

a) HIRA - Continuous Risk Assessment and Monitoring for JHA & JSA

b) Incident Investigation - using the ICAM Method with added content on Body language Reading Skills & Questioning techniques.

c) Coaching and Mentoring for Managers / Supervisors.

d) HAVS & WBV - (Hand-arm and Whole body Vibration Syndrome Awareness).

e) Planned Task Observations (PTOs) & Inspections.

I have a passion for human resources development (Improving People Skills), using proven, as well as innovative, custom designed methods to train people to do their work efficiently and constantly question, research and adapt my training approach and delivery to ensure my training methodology sets the standards for innovation where ever possible to ensure maximum efficiency for people working in these fields.

When a student tells you "thank you Sir, your dedication to ensure I know and understand the contents of this course to prepare for assessment and Authorization", then I feel satisfied my work and energy is paying off!
