Paragraph 2(g) of the 5711-1951 Civil Defense Law stipulates that the civil defense service (Haga – Home Front Command)
-
is authorized to coordinate the actions of government ministries, local authorities, and private industry in the matter of civil defense, and
-
is also authorized by paragraph 2(i) to train the public in matters of civil defense and to equip the public with protection kits.

The 5733-1973 Civil Defense Ordinances (equipping industries and institutions, and training their workers) stipulate the authority to train supervisors and instruct industrial workers.
Being thus authorized, the Home Front Command runs essential training sessions in the industrial sector. These activities include:

Training designated teams in factories: By request.
To coordinate training sessions, please contact the Regional Safety Officer of the Home Front Command.
