Our employees are provided with training to broaden their knowledge and awareness of environmental issues. Programs are designed to ensure staff have the skills they need to make informed choices about environmental protection in the workplace. Examples of environmental training programs include workshops on legislation and regulatory requirements, and courses on oil spill prevention, containment and response.
Programs also provide staff with workplace reference materials.
Development of several other training components was initiated last year and is continuing through 1997-98. As 1996-97 drew to a close, a formal assessment of our environmental training programs was being completed. Findings are expected to identify whether training is effectively meeting staff needs, and where improvements can be made. We also operate a range of safety training and assessment programs.
