Aims and objectives of the training
This training intends to create a safe space for all participants to be able to communicate freely and ask questions so that they understand how to deal with health and safety in the workplace (and in their daily lives) during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. As part of this, the intention is also for employers (even those who are self-employed) and employees to understand what each other’s rights and responsibilities are with regards to creating a working environment that is safe and without risk.
The manual seeks to encourage a strong focus on ensuring that there is open communication between employees and employers so that they can begin to build some level of trust around health and safety issues. This is critical to effecting behaviour change and thereby contributing to safer, more productive, working spaces with minimal risk.
