Updating Safety Training

Information, instruction and training for staff will need to be reviewed and updated whenever changes are made to the type of work carried out or to the work methods used. For example, such changes might include the amount of substances
used or produced, new control measures or practices and new substances brought into the workplace. Updated or refresher training should be provided as appropriate.
