Why Monthly Safety Training Hours Matter for Workplace Compliance & Culture
In the world of Occupational Health & Safety (OHS), training isn’t just a compliance checkbox — it’s the foundation of a safer, more aware workplace. Many Indian organizations are now adopting the practice of allocating minimum 2 hours of safety training per employee every month to comply with ISO 45001, ESG expectations, and internal KPIs.
"An investment in safety training is an investment in productivity, morale, and incident prevention."
– International Labour Organization (ILO)
