The training aims to promote a culture of safety and health in the office and to keep the workplace safe for all employees. This also focuses on reducing hazards, risks, and incidents by observing the behavior of a person and determining what follows when this behavior occurs.

 

MGB XII Regional Director, Efren B. Carido, in his opening message, said that this training is really intended for all the employees since safety is everybody’s concern.

 

“The things that may be learned from today’s seminar will not only confine in the practices in the office but also on our daily basis in life because this can be applied in a magnitude of ways”, he added.

Castillanes emphasized that behavior-based safety is a process that creates a safety partnership between management and employees that continually focuses people’s attention and action on their, and others, daily behavior. He also said that this training is essential and can be achieved when every employee considers safety as a value and makes sure that their fellow employees are safe. He ended the training leaving a quote that “behavioral and basic safety starts with you.” (Report and photo courtesy of MGB Soccsksargen)
