I am advised by the relevant military authorities that basic Health and Safety training is provided to all new entrants to the Defence Forces.  Where a requirement for more specific Health and Safety training is identified for an individual or group of individuals for their post, this training is provided by qualified Defence Force safety personnel. For example individuals working with chemicals will receive Chemical Awareness training as required.
