My Education

We often come across news pieces regarding fire incidents and accidents at workplaces involving a huge loss of human life and property. The reason being, that most companies adopt a lax attitude towards the safety of their employees, whereas, the workforce is often ignorant of their right to a secure work environment. Awareness is the key to prevent and handle any crisis situation. In the case of an emergency, the workers must have the capability and knowledge to effectively manage and minimize the consequences.

Companies must organize compulsory health and safety training programmes for their employees. Many medical organizations & consultancies offer specific courses as well as those that are tailor made to suit each workplace. The components of a typical programme are identifying the potential areas of risk, preventing & managing accidents and coping with the risk of exposure to hazardous substances.

For those workplaces that are highly prone to fire accidents, all workers must undergo a fire safety course. This kind of training would guide them to take adequate precautions thus preventing any tragedies. Such courses coach students on the use of fire extinguishers and other fire fighting skills. Furthermore, it empowers the employee such that they can assist the organization to comply with all fire safety rules and regulations.
