Preventive work
The focus in the "Always Safe" learning package for the fourth quarter will be health and the working environment.
The goal of this learning package is to prevent hazardous exposure by focusing on issues including increasing understanding of long-term exposure to noise, chemicals and physical strains that are harmful to health.
