GENERAL SAFETY AWARENESS TRAINING
The training that the majority of employees require to recognise, report, and control workplace safety and health hazards is frequently referred to as general safety awareness training. An individual needs to be aware of occupational health and safety risks in their workplace and follow safe procedures for every activity. General Safety Awareness Training plays a vital role in the workplace to create awareness about workplace hazards and risks and their appropriate control measures. It helps the employees acknowledge the safety hazards and correct them. It also enables the workers to understand the best practices and expectations about safety. The success of a health and safety programme as a whole and the prevention of workplace accidents depend heavily on this training. Depending on the roles and responsibilities of the employees, additional training may be required.
