Safety Training

Safety training topics are wide and vary from technical competence training to awareness sessions. Technical courses enhance employee skills and deepen their knowledge of worksite hazards. Meanwhile, awareness sessions improve employee understanding of general safety protocols and procedures.

eLearning Safety Awareness

To continue regular engagement with all employees in terms of training, an HSE eLearning Platform was developed to provide awareness to employees on various subjects.

Every employee must be made aware of the worksite hazards. Not only the safety aspects: unsafe acts and unsafe conditions, but also on health and environmental hazards. For this purpose, awareness courses were designed, developed, and initiated on the new HSE eLearning Platform and they covered Occupational Health and Environment. The Occupational Health Awareness course addressed health hazards that can arise within plants and other premises, and what controls need to be implemented to correct the hazards.
