The training aims to help employees fulfill their obligation to work safely.

2. FOREWORD
Accidents to human beings can cause pain and sufferings to the persons involved and their
family members. No amount of consolation or money can compensate this.
Hence AMANA firmly believe that all situations which can cause accidents should be identified
and corrected without fail. It is also a basic necessity of all employees to comply with applicable
legal and contractual Health & Safety requirements. I have complete confidence in all our
