Making safety stick for the workforce

Creating a strong safety culture starts from the very beginning of a career with Komatsu.

That's the reason why each year Komatsu runs a dedicated Safety Week for first- and third-year apprentices across all trades that deliver practical, engaging training that goes beyond the basics.

The aim is to equip apprentices with the tools, knowledge and mindset to make safety a core part of how they work, not just during their apprenticeship, but throughout their careers.

Komatsu's National Apprentice Development Manager, Kate Pemberton, says Safety Week is a key investment in people.

"Safety Week allows us to deliver essential safety concepts in a way that's interactive, relatable and most importantly, memorable. We want safety to be something our apprentices live and breathe - not just something they tick off a checklist," she said.
