Safety training and communications are core activities
Safety training is an important part of the rescue departments’ safety communications. Safety training is always systematic and goal-oriented. It may include lectures on safety themes, lessons, teaching sessions, safety walks, and exercises in first aid firefighting or similar.
The key objective of safety training is to ensure that the participants understand and are aware of the important role they play in accident prevention and action that should be taken when accidents and incidents occur.

- staff at hospitals and care institutions
