Workplace emergencies can take many forms, and it’s crucial for employees to know how to respond safely and effectively.

If employees are unaware of the proper procedures and safety instructions, they may put their own health and safety, as well as that of others, at risk. Understanding how to react in an emergency ensures that employees can act swiftly and confidently, minimising harm and contributing to a safe resolution.

This knowledge is essential for maintaining a secure workplace environment where everyone knows how to protect themselves and their colleagues in critical situations.
