African Management Services Company (AMSCO) has held a safety training programme for officials in the telecoms industry, aimed at equipping officials for global competition through the reinforcement of human capital development.
The two-week training programme under the theme ‘Work Safe, Work Smart’, being organised with support from Services and Technologies for Africa (S&TA) and Eaton Towers, has certification from Latchways Fall Arrest System from South Africa.
The first batch of 25 technicians from five telecommunications companies in the country were given intensive theoretical and practical sessions focusing on critical modules of working at height and rescue procedures.
Major Rtd Owusu Adansi, Director for Special Programmes, National Communications Authority speaking at the opening ceremony in Accra, underscored the need for training on safety for workforces in the telecoms industry.
Mrs. Audrey Mensah, AMSCO, commended the participating companies for showing their commitment toward safety issues and industry regulations.
She encouraged participants to endeavour to optimally use the acquired skills and knowledge to avoid the occurrence of accidents at the workplace.
Ms. Theodora Acquah, the Senior Capacity Development Officer for the region, expressed AMSCO’s appreciation for the encouraging response received from the call to attend this training.
“Given AMSCO’s mandate to drive the development agenda in Africa through training and expertise transfer, AMSCO will keep carrying out high level need-analyses to target the right audiences and deliver the needed training, since this indeed is the blueprint needed by the various sectors on their journey to becoming recognised international players,” Ms. Acquah remarked.
