I built a team incorporating key people from technical experts, organisation development, trainers, assessors to create Ausgrid first ever Low Voltage Live Work Manual and 3 days of training as part of a staged release of live work. Looking at rules, procedures, mindset and attitudes - what an awesome project to be a part of and an opportunity to uplift our safety culture. Show less
