Culture of Health and Safety
Health and safety concerns in the CTF learning environment vary greatly from occupational area to occupational area.
By promoting awareness of health and safety throughout the CTF learning environment, students develop a positive attitude toward their safety and that of others.
The attitudes, skills, knowledge and values they develop around safety will eventually permeate into both their private and professional lives.
