An excellent training experience. A good balance of information required to learn the role but not too overloaded. Information was well presented and got everyone engaged. Lots of lived experienced stories to help retain the important points. A nice outing to see good examples of how OH&S practices can benefit from being pro-active and great food and coffee!
