Safety officer training
The Department of Labour Protection and Welfare
within the Ministry of Labour implemented an eightstep
reform of the safety officer system in 2006 to meet
the new challenges:
1. Ensure that a training provider has a quality
management system certification before
accrediting the provider to conduct safety
officer training.
2. Require training providers to meet minimum
standards on training arrangements. These
include having competent staff to run training
courses, full-time qualified trainers, proper training
materials, equipment and training plans, and being
transparent on the cost of each training course.
