Qualification is bittersweet for Chris

RE:Group’s maintenance and safety manager Chris (pictured left), has passed his NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety with flying colours.

Following the 12-week course, Chris learned he missed gaining a distinction by a hair’s breadth.

“I should be celebrating as the result was very good, but to be one mark away from the top accolade is frustrating,” he says.

Chris says that course was very useful in reinforcing things that he already knew as well introducing him to new ideas, processes and regulations.

Chris is one of RE:Group’s new compliance team along with colleagues Kira and Jacob. Each takes on a different role, Chris’s being health and safety, with Kira on quality and Jacob responsible for the environment.

“We help each other out,” says Chris, “And the three of us are working towards becoming specialists in our respective areas.”

Next for Chris, who joined RE:Group in 2017, is the Integrated Management System Internal Auditor Training Course which was recently completed by Kira.
