Developing Safety Recognition: Do you struggle with making changes to your safety training? Are employees bored with the same training over and over again? What do you HAVE to do for training each year? How do you get employees involved? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, this seminar is perfect for you. We will explore what training is required annually and what people need to have refreshers on and how to test their competencies. We will review several different formats of training on how to “mix things up” with your training. As well as getting your employees involved!
