Proper training in health and safety helps workers understand how to identify and avoid potential hazards in the workplace. It ensures that employees know how to use equipment correctly and follow safety procedures. This reduces the risk of injuries, accidents, and costly mistakes. Overall, proper training creates a safer, more efficient, and more confident workforce.

Things to consider:
Was there a situation where you knew what to do because of safety training?
Did training help you recognize something unsafe before an accident could happen?
Did someone else’s mistake help you realize the value of being trained properly?
Did the training give you confidence to speak up or take action in an unsafe situation?
