As part of its ongoing commitment to technical excellence, GAP Industries Southeast Queensland recently conducted its quarterly training session and Toolbox Talk, reinforcing the company’s focus on continuous development, operational improvement, and compliance with high-level standards across critical sectors such as Defence, Healthcare, Education, and commercial-industrial.
This structured internal initiative combined advanced technical training, system and software optimisation, and team recognition. The goal: to strengthen service quality in electrical and communications infrastructure across Southeast Queensland, and to ensure GAP remains a reliable partner for complex project delivery.
“Training our team in fibre technology ensures every GAP installation meets the industry’s highest standards”, said Blake Jarrett, GAP’s Asset Managing Director.
Fibre Optic Splicing Training: High-Speed Communications for Critical Projects
A key focus of the session was the hands-on fibre optic splicing demonstration and training, covering both single mode and multi mode communications fibre, essential for projects requiring high-speed, stable and low-latency data transmission.
The practical training allowed technicians to refine their skills in a controlled environment, gaining first-hand exposure to the latest techniques in fibre handling, preparation and splicing.
This training is highly relevant in sectors such as:
- Hospitals, where uninterrupted data infrastructure is vital for patient safety.
- Defence bases, requiring secure, shielded and highly reliable networks.
- Industrial and Commercial facilities, demanding scalable, resilient connectivity solutions.
Toolbox Talk: Strengthening Safety Culture and Operational Standards
As with every quarterly session, a structured Toolbox Talk was held, this time focused on reinforcing safe work practices, incident prevention, and proper handling of electrical tools and materials.
These peer-to-peer safety meetings allow field teams to share real scenarios, highlight recurrent risks and suggest improvements based on lived experience.
Key points discussed in this Toolbox Talk included:
- Correct use of PPE in electrical risk environments.
- Safe procedures when identifying pre-existing faulty installations.
- Site organisation and housekeeping to minimise hazards.
This proactive approach supports compliance with AS/NZS 3003:2018, particularly in clinical environments, where electrical reliability directly impacts operational safety.
SIMPRO Protocols: Visibility and Performance from Start to Finish
The session also included a refresher on SIMPRO software protocols, an essential platform for GAP’s project management and field operations.
Technicians were trained on how to accurately document and follow job performance across all project stages — from initial assignment to project handover.
Key benefits of this system include:
- Full job traceability and accountability.
- Real-time performance monitoring.
- Transparent reporting for clients and auditors.
- Fewer admin errors thanks to structured digital workflows.
Staff Recognition: GAP Southeast Queensland Awards
To conclude the day, a staff recognition awards segment was held — an initiative GAP regularly promotes across Queensland, reinforcing a culture of merit, improvement and on-site excellence.
Team members were acknowledged for:
- Technical precision in complex installations.
- Proactive risk management on-site.
- Adherence to high-quality work practices and safety protocols.
This type of recognition reinforces a strong performance-driven culture, ensuring GAP’s on-site teams reflect the organisation’s commitment to quality, compliance, and professionalism.
Ongoing Training: A Strategic Pillar in Southeast Queensland
At GAP Industries, quality is not viewed as a static goal — but as a continuous process driven by technical training, adaptation and experience sharing.
Quarterly training sessions serve to:
- Introduce new technologies and best practices.
- Stay ahead of regulatory changes in the electrical sector.
- Capture and apply lessons learned from previous projects.
In Southeast Queensland, this results in more precise execution and greater resilience across all sectors — from government buildings to healthcare facilities and industrial sites.
