It's been exciting... it's been rewarding, and it's been challenging. Exciting in the sense that it gives us opportunities to discover new things and to apply knowledge. Challenging in the sense that we had to manage indigenous contractors and ensure that the safety performance is up to spec and they are able to deliver as required in terms of having people work and not go home injured. So, making sure people go back home safe. And it's also rewarding, and indeed very rewarding, because it gives us an opportunity to hone our skills and develop new skills.

I learnt a lot of things, first and foremost... in everything you do, safety is number one. There is nothing you can do, and do it well, and safely, if you've not put the safety factor into it.

I am a safety officer. I don't have that as a title... but I don't have to wait for a safety officer to come and tell me the right thing to do. Safety awareness, safety consciousness is something that I will take forward anywhere I go in the future.
