Complacency Kills!


The provision of information, instruction, training and supervision is an essential component of any risk management strategy. A robust training and assessment program is fundamental to the safety of not

only those conducting tasks, but also other workers and people who may be affected by their work.

Can our training and assessment programs be more robust? Have we let complacency slip in? Have we stopped training and assessing in some areas because “it hasn’t happened for a while”?

During this Workshop, coordinated by the Resources Training Council, we will explore these questions and more.
