Hazard analysis refers to the process of identifying hazards, which arise from a particular
environment or system and also encompasses documentation of unwanted consequences. One
major aspect of hazard analysis is related to conducting an analysis of the potential causes that
might create adverse effects (Wallace et al. 2014). On the other hand, safety training refers to the
programs that are essential for making a workplace safer for most people. This often
encompasses a range of training options that assist in bringing about improvements in safety
practices, ensures compliance and reduces risks (Sacks, Perlman and Barak 2013).
According to the data of Dubé (2017) workplace is the place where an individual spent
half of his life besides his home. There are several organizations that involve job roles,
equipment and environment that has the capability to hamper one’s health. Therefore the
organizations should focus on workplace health and safety training so that the health, safety and
wellbeing of the employees can be ensured. From the data of OSHA (2018), it is determined that
construction site possess greatest amount of risk as maximum of the workplace accidents around
the world are caused in construction sites. Hence, in this safety training procedure I decided to
provide safety training to the management and supervisor staffs regarding construction safety
course, Building construction safety supervisors course, framework safety course for supervisors,
confined space safety assessors course and industrial first aid course.
While including these safety training courses in the organizational setting, my primary
professional objective was to provide the employees or staff of the construction site with proper
training so that the employees can identify and respond to identified risks present within their
workplace. Further, they become aware of the safety related rules and legislation so that in case
of health risks they can protect their rights. Hence, the aim of this training was to provide
complete knowledge regarding the workplace health and safety and factorial safety training

courses to the construction site workers so that they can complete their tasks without any severe
health risk and hazard.
In the construction site, where I decided to provide safety training, more than 250
workers were involved with 10 on-site supervisors and 5 construction site managers. Prior to
training I was clear with approach with the help of which I will be providing training to the
supervisors and on site managers and for the purpose, I chose computer based training and
interactive training. These two techniques were decided so that with the help of available data
and pictorial demonstrations, an interactive session can be formed. Further, while providing the
training, all the supervisors and managers were provided with a small questionnaire and were
interviewed after the completion of the training so that data interpretation can be carried out
(Robson et al. 2012). I prepared a presentation for the safety training management including
topics such as safety and health policy, statutory requirements on safety, rules and
responsibilities while creating a safe organization and management system. As this part
comprised of several legislation and regulations, I contacted the workplace safety and health
committee so that a constructive and effective session can be conducted. After the session with
site managers, supervisors were also provided with interactive session by WHS committee and I
provided them questionnaire so that their understanding can be assessed (Ismail, Doostdar and
Harun 2012). Further, the supervisors were provided with techniques through which they can
provide such information to the construction workers as disclosing adverse effects can affect
their mental stability as well. They were asked to utilize the theory of hands on training
technique to make the workers aware of the safety and health related issues they can face or
facing at the construction site.
