Lifting Policy: You are encouraged to lift training and assessment materials voluntarily, assuming responsibility for any injuries. Avoid lifting objects beyond your capacity. When picking up items, remember to bend your knees and maintain a straight back. If you’ve had prior back issues, refrain from lifting heavy objects and seek assistance from others.
Evacuation
Safety within the classroom is our top priority. In the event of an evacuation, it’s crucial to follow the directions of the trainer. This ensures a coordinated and orderly evacuation process, helping to maintain the safety and well-being of all participants. Your cooperation in following these instructions is essential for everyone’s safety.
In addition to our evacuation procedures, we maintain strict housekeeping rules to ensure that all areas are kept clear of hazards, especially around fire exits. This helps create a secure learning environment for everyone. Your cooperation in adhering to these rules is greatly appreciated.
