Otherwise, workers are exposed to safety risks also companies are exposed to possible contingencies such as economic losses in production, either due to lower yields, erroneous activities, high incidents, and accidents, among others.

Likewise, the Federal Labor Law, in its Article 2, second paragraph, establishes that one of the elements that constitutes decent work is that the workers receive continuous training for the increase of productivity with shared benefits, this obligation is provided for in Chapter III BIS On Productivity, Education and Training of Workers, Article 153-A, second paragraph, indicates that to comply with this obligation, the employers may agree with the workers that the training be provided to them within the same company or outside of it, through their staff, specially contracted external instructors or adherence to general systems established for this purpose.

Training must be provided to the employees during the hours of their workday, the goal is that the staff acquire and update their knowledge to improve their labor skills, increasing their performance and being more prepared for the daily work, which will give them more personal confidence by developing other aptitudes and attitudes.
