OSHC intends to step up its training services through low cost but state of the art approaches including Distance Learning program. Much still remains to be done with regards to workers in small enterprises and addressing the needs of the young and women workers as well as the Overseas Filipino Workers. Over the past 19 years, OSHC has trained 50,000 potential safety officers, members of safety and health committees, supervisors and managers. Much has been achieved in the area of OSH training in the private and public sectors especially requesting large and medium sized firms.
The Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) of the Department of Labor and Employment under Executive Order 307 is mandated to conduct training and information programs along with providing technical assistance to clients and undertaking research. Lives are saved everytime workers are informed and trained on the importance and values of raising awareness on occupational safety and health (OSH). It also enhances productivity and profits, workers’ morale, and sound labor relations. Training adds value to business by preventing injuries and illnesses, decreasing workers’ compensation costs, re-training, absenteeism. There are many valid reasons to train on work safety and health.
