Lessons Learned

How many times have we heard, or even stated the following: “let that be a lesson to you”?  We all need to learn from past mistakes to prevent a repeat event or undesirable consequence. 

Accidents and near misses are preventable but only if we first understand how and why they happen and take corrective actions.  It is for this reason that the Trust has developed this portal for the sharing of both Lessons Learned / Best Practices in Health & Safety.

Lessons learned or lessons learnt are experiences distilled from past activities that should be actively taken into account in future actions and behaviors. There are several definitions of the concept.
