He has 3 level of experience. The type of training program I would recommend is to outsource an environment, health and safety experts to review the existing policies, give recommendations according to rules and regulation, conduct trainings and test the trainees on their effectiveness in handling work related injuries and first aid. There are firms and experts who specialises in work environment, health and safety and are government satisfied to advice organisations on efficient ways to ensure safety and health conditions prevail in working environment.
