Safety in the Workplace
Companies have legal obligations to meet certain safety requirements, but many go further than the minimum obligations.
Safety standards and procedures must be put in place, and everyone needs to follow the standards in order for them to be effective.
Our Safety In The Workplace course will be instrumental in reviewing common hazards, safety techniques and after completion, your participants will have the tools to help them create a Safety policy for your work place.
By identifying and anticipating hazards, employers can prevent injuries and keep employees safe.
