Lagos State Government, through its safety commission, has trained over 60 officials of Lagos State University (LASU) on safety at workplace.
The one-day training was held at the main campus of the university, with the theme, “Lagos State: Training and Injection of Safety, Health and Fire Marshals in Lagos State University Campuses.”
Director-General of the Commission, Lanre Mojola, addressing the trainees, took them through causes of accidents and hazards, ways to identify and avoid them.
Mojola, who decorated participants as safety ambassadors and charged them to lead the advocacy on zero accidents and zero hazards, said: “This programme is sensitisation, training and advocacy session on imbibing decent safety culture within the academic environment. We believe that in this environment, we can have zero accidents and these safety ambassadors will be at the forefront building a better safety culture.”
Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, who was represented by Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Adenike Boyo, said the training aimed at ensuring a safe and healthy work environment.
She reiterated that the university management would continue to partner with the Commission for the safety and well-being of the university community.
Earlier, the Registrar, Emmanuel Fanu, said participants at the training programme were selected from across all departments of the institution so that they could in turn train others.
