Learning curve
Safety is always first on our daily agenda where we discussed risks and hazards related to the work that we do. We use this opportunity to report incidents and defects that may results incidents. A typical day at work includes generating reports for the previous production performance and report the challenges experienced and way forward to overcoming those challenges and in doing so planning the day ahead. Working with a multidisciplinary team the biggest lesson is good communication. The biggest challenge is when we doing route cause analysis, this can take a day or week depending on the type of problem and it's impact on safety and production.
Pros: Great team culture. Working in a team with team members with a lot of experience which creates a learning opportunity technically, engineering and production wise.
Cons: I am seconded by a contracting company to work at Anglo Platinum, this means that I am not their employee. I am receiving same benefits as my colleagues who are Anglo Platinum employees.

Dangerous environment
Its not very hectic as the systems is very stable and we deal issues immediately as they arises. Co-workers are very reserved and they don't really share much I have learned a lot about SCADA and the programming of sequences I still need to learn more about the PLC which is very challenging at the moment.
Pros: Growth and good experience.
Cons: Doing the standby during holidays

Best experiences of my life
Saved on PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) cost in my department by implementing a strict PPE issuing policy to a staff compliment of 700 employees, as well as outsourcing the manning and the stock levels of the PPE store, this took my yearly PPE cost from +-R50K per person per year to +-R26K pp/py which amounted to a significant savings of between +- 65% to 70% on PPE cost, year on year. Implemented a zero tolerance policy and 100% alcohol sampling at WLTR Plant, on all employees before entering the plant at the start of shift, as well as random sampling during the shift, which took the plant from a rate of four minor accidents per month to zero minor accidents. Kept and maintained the achievement of Zero Fatalities since the commissioning of the WLTR Plant in 2003 until March 2017. Implemented a Safety Achievement Award Policy in 2013 which took the Plant from an Injury Frequency Rate of 15.5 to a IFR of 0.0.
Pros: Great opportunity to practice safety
Cons: IPA's

Excellent Learning Curve
Doing morning inspections in the plant, working with several colleagues in attaining information and production figures, preparing daily, weekly and monthly reports. Reporting to the Plant Superintendent and Technical Superintendent. Compiling production and dispatch plan and sending emails to relevant stakeholders. Ensure that all other inspections of stationery and mobile equipment is done and that checklists are filled. Doing daily stocktaking and maintenance planning. Ensuring personnel and equipment safety. Placing orders for all the materials required from the Stores. Supervising contractors doing maintenance in the area. Booking training for mobile equipment operators. I have learnt a lot in team work, troubleshooting and problem-solving, relating and cooperating with work colleagues, and enjoyed the work of providing solutions to problems in a quick response. The most challenging aspects of the job were that it required long hours, it was stressful and the workload was too much.
Pros: Growth in skills and well looked after employees
Cons: Long hours and weekend work
