This material supports, but does not replace, the site-specific and legally mandated training required in your jurisdiction. It is awareness-level training built on the shared principles of the South African OHS Act, US OSHA regulations, the EU Framework Directive and ISO 45001 — your site's procedures and local law always take precedence. Regulated competencies (first aid, firefighting, forklift operation, working at heights and similar) require formal, certified, region-specific training.
