The Importance of Safety Training in Corporate Offices
Q: Why is first aid or lifesaving training required in the corporate field?
A: The primary requirement is to make the workplace safer. If all employees are knowledgeable in first aid or lifesaving skills, they can assist their colleagues during emergencies, thereby safeguarding lives and the company’s human resources. This knowledge extends beyond the workplace, empowering employees to protect their families and friends, contributing to societal well-being.
Q: Are safety trainings taken seriously in corporate offices?
A: Observations indicate that the seriousness of safety training varies across organizational levels. Top management values these trainings highly as they protect human resources and benefit the company. Middle-level managers view them as events to be organized efficiently without disrupting regular work. Low-level employees often perceive these trainings as an additional burden. While this is a general trend, exceptions exist at all levels.
Q: What is the present state of safety training in corporate offices?
A: The current state of safety training in corporate offices is an improvement from the past. Previously seen as an unnecessary burden, it is now recognized as essential upskilling. However, the attitude towards these trainings often remains focused on certificate acquisition and test passing, with insufficient time allocated and participants sometimes being withdrawn for other work.
Q: What is the outcome of the present state of safety training?
A: Presently, participants often complete training and receive certificates but struggle with confidence and implementation of their knowledge in real-life situations.
Q: What is the solution to bridge the gap?
A: To enhance the effectiveness of safety training, organizers should ensure adequate training time and minimize disruptions. Companies should conduct pre-training sessions to highlight the importance of these trainings. Trainers should aim to genuinely empower participants, and their suggestions should be heeded. Additionally, top management can perform annual internal audits by experts to assess the actual learning outcomes and ensure the training is worth the investment.
