RRC Key2Safety Levels,1,2 & 3

This is a three-stage RRC-designed safety programme, delivered in English or Arabic, that progresses from basic, through intermediate and finally to advanced-level training. It is intended to address the safety needs of global organisations. An important feature of these courses is their foundation on international safety best practice and ILO standards rather than the specific legislation of any one country. This benefits large multi-national organisations by ensuring that standardised safety training, management systems and procedures are implemented across their global operations.
