Hey everyone. It is going to be a strange weekend...
So I am off today (Saturday), Day 15 for this post was yesterday. And then I will be going to the docks to work tomorrow on a Sunday.
It SHOULD be only 3 hours of work, but I never trust these things. I am am very prepared mentally that this may take twice as much time. It is the only state of mind to have when you go into these things.
When you are on a construction site like this, whether I am a Site Supervisor or a Safety Officer there is one function that stays the same: I need to analyse failure.
I need to behave and plan around failure all the time. I need to think about what can go wrong, how can the be injured, what delays may be expected and how all of those things can be managed.
The Technicians think differently:
Safety rules and Quality rules - a framework to work within and is often annoying.
Task to be completed - Need time and materials.
Get to the work with what I need and do the work = success.
My job is to allow them to get to the Success part while managing ALL the aspects around that work that they cannot do, think of or have time for.
It can make a person tired.
Here is a shot of the vessel in the afternoon... yes... I see the potential shadow picture @melinda010100, lol. I took some more.
As we can see, there is not much activity right now. Its a Friday on "payday" so a lot of the contractors finish up early on a Friday and then go back and work the whole weekend.
It is still quite hot, look at that African sun streaming down on the site.
Funny saying "African sun". Its the same sun everywhere, but we need to remember that it is NOT at the same angle in some places and that is why they are colder.
And here we can see some rigging activity is going on. Despite there being few people on site, you can count on there being at least some sort of critical work being performed. The site never sleeps.
Right... I have much to do!
Have a great Saturday everyone!
Cheers!
