Arrangements for training

The training information and instruction given by the LGSCO should enable employees or workers to have the necessary knowledge, skills of health and safety issues and relevant legislation appropriate for their work activities.

Adequate time will be allowed for employees and workers to acquire the necessary training and experience.

Legislation requires that training should consider the needs of new employees and existing employees, changes in work equipment, technology, systems of work and the need for periodic refresher courses.
