The Lagos Safety Commission in conjunction with Help Station has organised a one-day intensive training in emergency response for workers and other relevant stakeholders in the hospitality industry such as hotels.
The Director General of the safety commission, Lanre Mojola, disclosed at the event held in Lagos on Wednesday that emergencies and trauma could occur without warning but being adequately prepared could make all the difference in saving lives.
Mojola, who was represented at the event by the Head, Events and Hospitality, Olubunmi Jegede, also emphasised that the workshop was channeled towards promoting prompt safety and emergency response in the hospitality industry.
“This is a critical sector that contributes significantly to the economy of Lagos State, and we must prioritise the safety and well-being of the staff, guests, contractors and even the employer.
“As we all know, emergencies can occur at any time, and it’s crucial that we’re prepared to respond effectively. The Lagos State Safety Commission in conjunction with Help Station is committed to ensuring that all establishments in the state, including those in the hospitality sector, have the necessary measures in place to prevent and respond to emergencies,” he said.
Mojola pointed out that the primary purpose of first aid was to provide immediate care and treatment for individuals who have been injured or suddenly taken ill.
“Overall, the purpose of this workshop is to provide timely and effective care to individuals in need, with the ultimate goal of preserving life, preventing further harm, and promoting recovery.
“The Lagos State Safety Commission is committed to supporting the hospitality industry in Lagos State to ensure that all establishments are safe and compliant with relevant health and safety regulations. We’ll continue to work closely with you to promote a culture of safety and responsibility,” Mojola said.
In her remarks, the Chief Operating Officer of Health Station, Dr. Yewande Alebiosu, highlighted the organisation’s partnership with the Lagos State Safety Commission to address the critical need for improved emergency preparedness and trauma care across communities throughout the state.
