Accidents, injuries, sickness and insecurity are daily facts of life. However, the world of work exposes working people in a peculiar way making them more vulnerable to these accidents. Precaution, therefore, is vital if industrial accidents are to be minimized and productivity improved. This can be achieved through training and retraining thereby creating awareness in the mind of the workers. Therefore, this workshop is designed to enable participants to develop the requisite skills for enhancing industrial safety in their work environments.
