A structured instructional practice that builds and maintains competency in recognizing workplace hazards, following safety procedures, and responding to emergencies. It operates through designed curriculum and repetition — the mechanism is pedagogical: learners acquire situational awareness and procedural memory through exercises, drills, and feedback loops. The practice persists via institutional scheduling, certification cycles, and regulatory mandates that require periodic re-training.

Test: remove safety-competency as a goal — does safety-training stop operating? No, it still trains. But safety-training is DESIGNED and maintained for the sake of building safety-competency. Per Law 8d: for-whose-sake? servant(safety-training)→master(safety-competency). Purpose by design, not incidental benefit.
- cmsazyv9y000a3vv3f89mn9rySERVES →
Safety-training is designed and maintained for the sake of building safety-competence (Law 8d: teleology). The entire purpose of safety training programs is to develop the knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes that constitute competence. Remove training as an institution and competence-building loses its primary structured mechanism — organizations still value competence, but their main designed instrument for creating it disappears. The servant (training) points at the master (competence).
