Training Feedback (cont.)
“It’s not just about safety, this is about leadership.”
“I got so much more than I expected. I did not
expect to come away with the tools and new
perspective. Honestly, I thought it would be a ‘do
better’ review of ISMS/Safety. This training really
improved my understanding of SCWE and
importance of relationships in maintaining a SCWE.
It gives me something to use to measure where I am
and where I need to improve.”
