Breaking Bad: Workforce Training Suggestions

Tonight, the final episode of the TV series Breaking Bad airs. As we like to do from time to time, we take a break from writing about serious safety issues such as preventing fatalities, learning teams, incident investigations, leading indicators, safety training, and online safety training and use a seasonal event or something in pop culture to enjoy a safety yuk or two. In this article, the laughs are on, or compliments of, Walt and his crew from Breaking Bad.

Got any safety training suggestions for the characters in Breaking Bad of your own? Let us know. And don't forget to download the free guide at the bottom of this article, too.
