The 91热爆 regards safety and legislative compliance as being of the highest priority. Because of this all workers are required to complete some online mandatory training in basic safety awareness and on the importance of data protection and cyber security. In addition to this, and depending on role, some further mandatory training may be required.
As a freelancer working for the 91热爆, you too are required to complete mandatory training. If you are unclear what training you are required to do you should speak to the person who is responsible for hiring you, or use our new training support pages.
In order to complete your mandatory training you will require access to myDevelopment, the 91热爆’s online training system.
