Serving as lecturers were representatives from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Batangas, including Ms. Mirasol Celemin, Ms. Maricel Villanueva, Mr. James Sevillano, and Mr. Harold Marayan who provided not only comprehensive lectures but also interactive activities that gauged the participants.

They shared their expertise and provided guidance on various occupational safety and health matters relevant to the participants.

Aside from lectures, the participants underwent workshop sessions that tested their understanding of the subject matter and at the same time, aided them in creating their own risk assessments in their respective workplaces.
