Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role is to shadow the Safety Facilitator in Steel and Slab.
Going to meetings, taking notes and actions. Assigning actions through teams and emails. Reviewing PPE stock and ordering more if it is needed. Presenting local inductions for new starters. Facilitating weekly meetings. Organising files and documents. Assigning monthly audits for colleagues.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
The transition in the beginning was quite slow, I felt as if I wasn't being told what to do and many times I would be sitting around expected to do things I was never shown how to do. Now I am a lot more comfortable in my role and have picked things up easily. With the business position at the moment it is quite unsettling not knowing whether we will still be here.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have had the opportunity to take part in many courses and developed my skills greatly, especially working with a team, my confidence for presenting has also improved greatly.
