On 22 March 2024, all roads led to NASREC, at the Rand Easter show which will be hosted at the Johannesburg expo centre. The roads were buzzing with military convoys when Defence Works Formation, one of the hallmark formations in the Logistic Formation, made their headway to the venue. The Defence Works Formation is participating in the much-anticipated event which is hosted annually by the South African National Defence Force to showcase their prowess in defending the sovereignty of the state and the territorial integrity.
Defence Works Training School is the flagship of the Defence Works Formation, and the architecture of the artisans in Formation is spearheading the exhibition in conjunction with Regional Works Unit Gauteng and Military Town Management also known as Construction Unit. The trio moved into the theatre of operations at the abovementioned time to sharpen their axes for the show which will be open to the public from the 28 March to 01 April 2024.
The core function of Works Training School is To provide Defence Works Formation with Training Department Of Defence members on the Following Capabilities: Civil Construction, Engineering, Basic handyman, Construction Machine Operators training, Driver Training and. Environmental management. All hands were on deck as the hard-working members from the Formation were preparing for the exhibitions, amongst them female artisans were also spotted and they were making a name for themselves in the male-dominated construction environment.
The construction environment is very heavy on logistics and requires a lot of manual labour, danger is always lurking therefore strict adherence to Occupational Health and Safety cannot be overemphasised. The successful completion of the project relies solely on safety hence personal protective clothing and personal protective equipment availability is of paramount importance.
