The one-day training held at LASU main campus, Ojo, had as its theme, ‘Lagos State: Training and injection of safety, health and fire marshals in Lagos State University campuses.’
The Vice Chancellor of LASU, Prof Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Prof. Adenike Boyo, stated that the training was aimed at ensuring a safe and healthy work environment.
“Our disposition to this training is a demonstration of the resolve by the university management to provide and maintain an ambience safe, secure, and conducive for staff, students and visitors of the university. It also shows the commitment of the university management to implement all the recommendations contained in the safety audit report on the Babatunde Raji Fashola Senate Building of the university.
“I wish to reiterate that the university management will continue to partner with the Lagos State Safety Commission for the safety and well-being of the university community,” she said.
The university registrar, Mr Emmanuel Fanu, earlier explained that participants in the training programme were selected from across all departments and divisions in the institution. This, according to him, was so that they could in turn train others in their departments and divisions.
Addressing the trainees, the Director-General of the commission, Mr Lanre Mojola, explained to the participants the causes of accidents and hazards, ways to identify them and how to avoid them in the workplace.
