from all sectors to be fit n healthy for their job because
less harm from the surrounding. Thus,it is essential for
our course since it is the main component during
working period.

16.  Yes because we are fully equiped with five standard
which are used to protect workers from the
unexpected accident thus protecting workers body
parts
 PPE(Personal Protective Equipment)
 Eye & Face Protection Standard
 Respiratory Protection Standard
 Hand Protection Standard
 Control of Hazardous Energy Standard
