SCAFFOLDING BEST PRACTICE #5: “Compliance is not Competence!”

“Impressive Results”

Stephen Pike was on our site to provide training for a group representing diverse backgrounds, cultures, language, and expertise….What I witnessed was real learning as Stephen was the conduit that enabled a personal connection by the participants who truly grasped the importance of the training to their own safety and well-being. While legislative compliance was indeed accomplished, the real winners were the workers who left the sessions with not only the knowledge to work safely, but more importantly, the understanding of their vital role in ensuring their safe return to their families after the work was done. Needless to say, we have welcomed Stephen back to our site since for training sessions with other workers that provided equally impressive results.
