Occupational safety plays a key role in ensuring the safety and health of employees. Training in safe methods and techniques of work performance becomes a prerequisite for the successful functioning of any enterprise. In 2022 Peton Corporate University successfully obtained accreditation for the right to implement occupational safety training. Since that moment, PETON University has been actively enlarging its portfolio of compulsory education programs, training both employees of the Holding and staff of external clients.
In 2025 the Corporate University is developing more than 50 compulsory training programs in fire safety, industrial safety, safe operation of petrochemical facilities, oil refining facilities, oil and gas industry facilities, road safety, ecology, etc. Thus, the Corporate University is ready to accept trainees in more than 300 compulsory education programs, vocational training for workers and employees, advanced training and professional retraining programs.
Occupational safety training is necessary for any business for several reasons:
1. Legislative requirements
Legislation provides for mandatory occupational safety training for all employers. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to serious legal consequences.
2. Reducing employee health risks
Occupational safety training helps employees gain the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely. This reduces the risk of accidents, occupational diseases and industrial accidents.
3. Improving the company's image
Companies which pay attention to occupational safety issues are perceived as responsible employers who take care of their employees. This can attract the best specialists and help strengthen the company's reputation in the market.
4. Increase labor productivity
Trained employees feel more confident and comfortable in the workplace that helps increase labor productivity and reduce stress levels.
5. Cost saving
Regular occupational safety training helps prevent potential losses related to industrial accidents, compensation for employees and fines from regulatory authorities.
For reference:
