Importance of Health and Safety training

In any large organization and workplace, there are plenty of risks and safety issues that arise due to the nature of the activities performed. Hence it is important to identify all stakeholders responsible for the implementation of health and safety at the workplace. These stakeholders are also accountable for meeting all legal obligations and safety regulations.
