There were further Safety Savvy Sessions at various locations last week – Paul Cheeseman’s first workshop was completed at Preston Brook with thanks to all attendees and to Ronnie Simpson in assisting. Initial feedback is all positive. Paul said he was happy to get the first one under his belt, and Craig Williamson congratulated Paul saying he was looking forward to attending a session with Steven Taylor next week. Paul Cooke also said he enjoyed the session describing it as a “clever and fresh approach to a very important subject, it’s going to be an easy ‘sell’ to my guys.”

Meanwhile at Oldbury, Callum McPhillips attended the first Safety Savvy workshop there, saying: “It’s what you need to know to stay alive longer in a dangerous and uncertain world! Thanks to all that attended!” And Dave Goodman attended the first Safety Savvy training at Wenvoe delivered by Sam Shepherd. Dave commented: “Sam did a great job presenting the course and sharing the five truths known to the Safety Savvy. Well done Sam, you really got us thinking about what we do, what we say and making change.”

Finally, Steve Taylor reported on his Safety Savvy session in Sheffield at the Paving Solutions office. 13 delegates interacted and went away Safety Savvy aware – thanks to all who attended and Nigel for his much-valued assistance. Nigel Smith, who attended said: “Well done Steve, great to be part of the day and interesting to be able to stand back and see the reaction of the audience at certain parts of the presentation.”
