With the arrival of a new year come good resolutions: getting better organized, working with greater peace of mind, avoiding problems and unexpected events. Yet, in many companies’ list of priorities, workplace safety often ends up near the bottom. Making safety one of the year’s resolutions means preventing penalties, operational shutdowns, and risky situations—but above all, creating a more aware, organized, and protected workplace.
Training as the foundation of every good resolution
One of the first goals is workplace safety training for employees: every worker, regardless of the sector, must know the basic concepts of prevention, risks, and correct behaviors to adopt during work activities. General employee training is the first mandatory step: it is a 4-hour workplace safety course that provides essential notions about rights, duties, general risks, and prevention roles. It is often underestimated because it is “only theoretical,” but in reality it is the foundation on which to build a solid company safety culture.
A trained worker is more attentive, more responsible, and less exposed to accidents; for the company, this means fewer risks, fewer injuries, and greater peace of mind during inspections. This is then followed by specific training, which completes the learning path by adapting it to the real risks of the work performed. A concrete new-year resolution? Check that all employees are compliant and that training is up to date!
RENTRI: turning an obligation into a start-of-year goal
Among the major topics involving more and more companies is RENTRI, the National Electronic Register for Waste Traceability. It is a subject that raises doubts, questions, and often some confusion. The new year is the ideal time to clarify: RENTRI was created to digitize and make waste management more transparent, progressively replacing paper registers and outdated procedures. Understanding how RENTRI works is not only a legal requirement, but also a way to improve internal organization and reduce the risk of mistakes.
Addressing RENTRI with the right training helps avoid penalties and manage flows, entries, and compliance requirements correctly.
Privacy and safety: a pairing not to postpone
Another resolution that is often postponed is GDPR compliance, meaning the proper management of personal data in the company—of customers, suppliers, employees—as well as for newsletters, websites, and video surveillance.
The new year is the right time to ask whether your company is truly compliant or whether you are simply hoping nothing will happen. Privacy compliance is not just a set of documents, but a process that protects the company from penalties and disputes. Making privacy one of the year’s goals means working with greater peace of mind, knowing that data and information are handled correctly and in accordance with the law.
RSPP refresher training: an ongoing commitment
Among the resolutions, RSPP refresher training cannot be missing—especially for employers who directly perform this role: regulations evolve, responsibilities remain, and training is never a one-off activity. RSPP updates make it possible to approach safety with greater awareness, make the right decisions, and demonstrate real attention toward workers and collaborators. It is an investment that pays off over time, both in prevention and in company management.
A truly safer new year
Making resolutions is easy; keeping them is harder. That is why it is important to turn intentions into concrete actions: training, updates, regulatory compliance, and professional support. Whether it is general employee training, RENTRI, GDPR compliance, or RSPP updates, the beginning of the year is the ideal time to restore order and start off on the right foot.
Safety is not only a legal obligation, but a value that improves everyday work and protects what truly matters: people and the company’s future. Including it among the year’s resolutions is an intelligent and, above all, practical choice.
