Important to note
This e-learning course covers the theoretical and fundamental part of training in cleaning, HSE and environmental awareness. The course does not replace practical training in the workplace. In order for the training to be complete, the company itself must provide practical introduction to its own premises, machinery and working methods, training in local deviation system and emergency procedures, as well as adaptation to specific risk conditions and chemicals used in the enterprise. The course must therefore be combined with internal training, supervision and follow-up in practice in order to meet requirements for full-fledged training.
