The online training academy Coformación has announced the expansion of its educational offerings in Occupational Risk Prevention (PRL), a crucial area for workplace safety. Until now, the institution had a basic 30-hour course, but it will now add a new 60-hour course aimed at providing more comprehensive training that meets the needs of small businesses, individuals, and students seeking credits to validate their studies in Vocational Training and Career Guidance (FOL).
The importance of receiving adequate training in PRL lies in its capacity to reduce the number of workplace accidents, decrease absenteeism, and increase productivity. Workers with good training in this field can identify risks before they occur, use equipment correctly, and respond effectively in emergency situations. This leads to a reduction in direct costs, such as absences and penalties, as well as indirect costs related to employee turnover and corporate reputation.
Furthermore, providing training in PRL reflects management’s commitment to the safety of its employees. When properly integrated into the risk prevention plan, this training helps unify criteria among different shifts and work centers. A well-designed program that combines theory and practice can be tailored to the needs of each position and updated according to changes in tasks or technology used.
According to Law 31/1995 on PRL, employers are required to ensure that each worker receives training that is sufficient and appropriate for their position, focused on the specific risks they face. This training should preferably be provided during working hours or, if not possible, with a corresponding reduction in time. Additionally, it must be repeated whenever significant changes occur in functions, equipment, or new risks are identified.
The Regulations for Prevention Services specify the minimum content required for basic level training and the criteria for those who can deliver it. There are two types: basic training, which provides general knowledge about safety and health at work, and specific training, which is adapted to the risk analysis of the position.
Aware of the importance of this type of training, Coformación offers online courses that ensure compliance with the basic requirements needed for effective training in occupational risk prevention, all in an accessible format and at competitive prices. The courses are valid for the validation in FOL, allowing workers and students to achieve their educational goals. Coformación invites those interested to visit its website for more information about the available offerings.
