This session focused on identifying threatening behaviour, maintaining personal safety, and responding appropriately to ensure a safe working environment.
  • Spill Response Awareness: The training included strategies for effectively identifying and containing spills. By preparing for potential accidents, the team learned how to minimise environmental impact and ensure safety in case of spills.

The event was a testament to Queenstown’s commitment to safety, showcasing a collaborative effort to build a resilient and well-prepared team.
