(Newswire.net — August 2, 2013) Calgary, AB — Safety for individuals working in the oil and gas industry is a high priority for employers. To ensure the safety and well-being of oil and gas workers energy companies know that an effective training program is essential. Safety training helps to reduce injuries, illness, or death, accidental property damage, liability or workers compensation claims.

Employees are an integral part of the success of any business. They need to be taught proper workplace safety procedures and standards. With a view to preventing accidents employers must provide up-to-date health and safety training.

According to Canada’s Labour Program website, “The Government of Canada protects workplace safety through legislation, programs and services designed to prevent accidents and injuries on the job. The Labour Program works proactively with employers to reduce occupational injuries and illnesses in federally regulated workplaces by providing information on improving health and safety in their organizations.”

The federal government ensures that companies comply with Canada’s Labour Code. When looking for a safety course to ensure workplace health and safety training meets occupational health and safety standards energy companies look to Oilfield Directory Publications (oilfielddirectory.com).
