“We hope to extensively use this programme to train a maximum number of people – staff, sub-contractors, workmen and integrate safety in every work we do, be it small or big, simple or complex, to make a significant reduction in accident rates,” said Mr Subrahmanyan.

“We’re delighted and proud to see our International General Certificate qualification become a fundamental part of the training and health and safety culture of such an important and respected employer in this region of the world,” stated Teresa Budworth.
