A training course for labor safety managers was opened in the employers' association

---

A long-term labor safety training certification course was opened in the Association of Georgian Employers, within the framework of which about 40 company representatives will upgrade their qualifications. The Employers' Association in Georgia is the only organization that has obtained from the International Labor Organization (ILO) the exclusive right to conduct training according to the methodology and standards of the International Training Center of the ILO, which gives the opportunity to give the participants an international quality certificate as a result of the final testing. The advantage of the course is not only that it is taught in accordance with international norms, but also that local regulations and normative acts are included in it. It also includes practical training directly at work facilities. The above-mentioned long-term training, the topic of which was developed by the association based on many years of experience in this field, was held for the first time in October-December 2017 and became one of the most requested courses. The interest in the topic increased after the Georgian government created the labor inspection department based on the requirements of the European Union and tightened the regulations in this direction. The issue is particularly relevant in Georgia, considering the fatal consequences caused by mistakes made in the field of labor safety. The Association of Employers of Georgia takes into account the challenges faced by companies and strengthens cooperation with the private sector in the direction of labor safety. Therefore, as a result of consultations, audits, personnel training, the member companies of the association will be prepared to face the implementation of the new regulations.
