When we first engaged Monica Rakoczy to assist with our safety training it was simply to meet our regulatory obligations. We had tried other Companies over our 20 years in business and frankly the attitude of our 50+ workforce was typically "Do I have to go through this again?" Having had to sit through a number of sessions myself, I knew exactly what they were thinking, monotonous and boring.
Monica's training sessions have been anything but. From the very first session it was clear that Monica's approach to training; hands-on, interactive, interspersed with a touch of humor, hit just the right cord with our workforce. Comments like "that was awesome" and "that's the most I've gotten out of a training session in my 20 years here" are commonplace after her presentations. I have to concur with my workforce, Monica Rakoczy is an awesome Safety Trainer.

We have had difficulty in the past finding a safety trainer that could keep our employees' attention and deliver relavent information to our trades. Monica has been able to accomplish both, which has improved our overall safety program. It continues to be a pleasure working with her.

The first time we had Monica in to do our safety training we were a little apprehensive as to how she would relate to our field employees. Wow, is all I could say after that first 5 minutes of her presentation! Monica has a gift of relating to her audience along with her excellent knowledge and understanding of a safety culture within a company. That was 3 years ago and we still use her, because of her abilities and the employees actually ask when Monica is coming to do training for the year. Monica is at the top of her game when it comes to Safety Training!

Monica has made a significant positive impact on the level of safety of several of our Fortune 100 client’s pharmaceutical manufacturing projects, and on the teams’ safety awareness in general. Brought in on a complex ongoing project which was trending negatively toward serious incident, she was instrumental in turning around that trend, and the project was completed without further incident, and accident free. Monica has followed up on that success with continuing direct support of that manufacturing site. As an engineering project manager, I continue to work with Monica, and find her experience, skill sets, sound advice, collaborative style, and ability to relate to the work and the workers, invaluable.
