2023…. A little late to wish all compliments of the season with the first letter being released in February. I would however like to wish all a successful year and hope everybody returned to work after a safe and relaxing festive break.
Unfortunately for SAFPA, things have started off being very busy within our industry, thus not allowing time for most of the council members to focus on SAFPA duties. This has also led to the council meeting of February 2023 having to be cancelled. However, council members have been looking at alternate avenues for training programmes that could assist members in basic training of staff members, assisting businesses to grow their staff. Further details to follow once a trail period has been completed.
On a brighter side, SAFPA has managed to arrange its first technical meeting for the year. The meeting will be hosted by Hydranet & Trelleborg Sealing Solutions. This meeting will be as a virtual/on-line meeting as the presenter is based in Europe. The meeting will be held on the 2nd March. It’ll be a technical talk/discussions on the latest sealing solutions from the world’s leading seal designers and manufacturers.
SAFPA looks forward to a positive attendance from its corporate members and associated staff.
The Hose Accreditation Course is still not being supported by industry as Council had intended. A course is being planned for the 18 & 19 April, with a few spots being booked. We ask that all members buy into this programme as it creates awareness within the work place with the intent of safety and knowledge being passed to the learners who are given this opportunity to learn.
An event schedule for 2023 was proposed by the Secretariat. This schedule was approved by the council members. I ask all SAFPA members to take note of the events planned, with some additional technical meetings being squeezed in during the year.
