As Team Mipela moves through to the final quarter of 2022, every day we focus on our becoming more Responsive, Reliable, and Repeatable.
Part of the recipe for our continuous improvement is to gain insight from some of the industries experts, to get a broader knowledge of their plans, their drivers and how we can add value to not only them, but also the individuals at Mipela.
It’s been a knowledge packed few months that was kicked off by our own GIS and Solutions Guru, Alana O’Connor, presenting on Trust and Credibility – there was so much talk about! Three things to consider… what you do reflects on your own Personal reputation, the reputation of the Company you work for and your Public reputation.
Now that we had our reputation in check, some of the Brisbane staff ventured out to attend the Pre-Excavation Management Around Subsurface Utilities Training Course with the team at DBYD Certification Ltd. This has provided a deeper understanding around the process Locators go through and also the importance of logging an enquiry Before You Dig!
Special guest and long-time friend to Hayden McDonald, Susan Jaques from Sage Consulting came into Mipela HQ and presented an Introduction and Overview of the Australian Standards & AS2885. Not only a lovely woman but she had so much knowledge to share that two of the team are now undertaking AS2885 Pipeline Pathways Training.
Mell Greenall from Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) came into Mipela HQ to talk BYDA and damage prevention. With a focus on education and awareness BYDA are focusing on lifting the focus of their awareness programs to focus on safe excavation practices and the importance of understanding the risk of underground infrastructure.
This coming week we are very excited to kick off the 2022 APGA Annual Convention and Exhibition with APGA’s President of the Board of Directors, Donna McDowall. Donna will be taking our knowledge of APAG to a deeper level, and we will have the opportunity to ask her about her journey in the industry.
Gosh, that was a lot, wasn’t it. Thank you to everyone that has taken time out of their busy schedules to join the Mipela team and add value to our people and our Kamapim Project.
