Objectives |
New technologies, the involvement of workers, well-maintained infrastructures and well-run operations are leading to a reduction in injuries and accidents, but there is still room for improvement in this area. Improving basic occupational safety training would further improve the situation by ensuring that all workers are provided with the necessary information on occupational safety and the identification of key risks and developing the skills to avoid these risks. Provide potential workers in the industry with a basic knowledge of safe work organisation and familiarize them with the rules applicable in the global industry in accordance with the relevant standards. |
