Introduction
The essay is going to be discussed on the impacts of learning and training. It will be
focused on health and safety trainers to learners in the United Kingdom. The process of
learning is defined as the absorption of information as well as knowledge so that individuals
can enhance their skills along with with their abilities (Liu et al. 2017). The data can be
utilized with respect to several contexts and aspects respectively. The process of training is
referred to as the distributing knowledge as well as information through the medium of
speech, written words, along with several other approaches while performing the
demonstration in such a manner that will instruct the trainee (Schmeck 2013). The learning
and training can be easily identified in the process of training in health and safety training,
which should be provided to the trainers to recognize the hazards and will be able to adopt
safety measures along with healthy working practices (Ricci et al. 2016). It is actually
employed upon the individuals in order to meet their respective legal duties as well as to
protect the employee’s health and safety and others as well (NS 2014). The primary objective
of this essay is to establish an analysis of some significant aspects such as understanding

Discussion
Health and safety training for the learners is the process of benefitting the employees
so that they can recognize the hazards along with approving healthy and safe working
practices. In this process, the employees get benefitted by avoiding the pain, anguish and
financial costs, which has been caused by health-related issues (Ricci et al. 2016). It will
enable the employees to acquire their legal duties in order to protect the safety and health of
the employees along with other people as well. According to Work Act 1974, the approach of
health and safety is essentially required to the employees in order to acquire free training,
instructions, along with required supervision for all the employees (NS 2014). In the United
Kingdom, the employees who can control the premises, need to consider the safety measures
for everyone including customers and contractors. The main purpose of the training of health
and safety is providing relevant as well as precise information regarding health and safety and
training helps to reduce the chances of suffering from severe injuries along with ill-health
(Holt and Allen 2015). Therefore, it benefits the employees to attain the desired skills,
attitude and knowledge to prepare them in a competent way. The working aspects of health
and safety training will help to introduce a positive culture along with a healthy environment.
There are eight responsibilities that will ensure the essential aspects of health and
safety training for the learners such as:
a. Roles and Responsibilities: The main role under health and safety
training is to prevent various accidents, severe injuries along with illness regarding
work at their respective workplaces. The role-play is quite significant to produce as
well as practicing the policies of health and safety training (Holt and Allen 2015). The
policies are related to all the current legislation in order to ensure that all the policies
are practiced adequately by the employees along with the facilities of management.

4EDUCATION AND TRAINING
The trainees need to understand their essential role because if they are unable to
impose such policies in their working sectors, they won’t be able to understand their

as thoughts appropriately and it will help them to secure their position effectively.
An employer’s responsibility is to assure protection towards health issues,
safety measures along with the welfare management of the employees. There are
other people as well who will also get affected by their respective business so it is the
employer’s duty to assure them safety towards any such consequences (Freitas, Silva
and Santos 2019). Employers must practice certain issues responsibly so that they can
acquire business ventures appropriately. It is the employer’s duty to process certain
rules and regulations under which all the causes can be dissolved in the process of
health and safety laws and so that they can access all the risks in their respective
workplaces (Li et al. 2015).
b. Initial and diagnostic assessment: Initial assessment is the method
of recognizing a person’s requirements towards learning and support so that it will
help them to follow the structure of their respective learning plan (Holt and Allen
2015). Therefore, the plan will help them to follow up on their learnings and more
appropriately, it will help them to determine the starting point of a learner for their
individual learning program (Reese 2015).
In the department of health and safety training, there are particular initial
assessment that the management system needs to follow and those are: firstly,
working in an organization of health and safety; secondly, focus on the planning
process for certain issues accidents and illness in health prevention; thirdly,
practicing, managing and processing the resources for the occupational safety along
health policies.

On the other hand, the diagnostic assessment is the process of pre-assessment,
which will allow a tutor to develop the student’s strengths, limitations, skills,
knowledge along with their individual weaknesses to follow up the instructions
accurately. The process mainly deals with the utilization to diagnose the difficulties
faced by the student. It will help the students to get proper guidance for the lessons
along with curriculum planning.
In the process of health and safety training, there are certain diagnostic
assessment as well that the management system is supposed to consider and follow
accordingly, and those are: firstly, risks management; secondly, benefitting the
performance of businesses and products and thirdly; diagnostic tool will help to locate
the overall method to recognize the risk factors.
c. Plan inclusive learning: There are certain commitments that the
students are supposed to provide during the course of their attaining knowledge. It
will help them to develop their skills appropriately and will never allow them to
compromise in their duties. In this way, it will ensure the concepts of safety among
the learners adequately and may also diminish the rates of accidents and illness
(Lawrie et al. 2017). The young people should ensure support towards various
effective programs, and if they can add such measures in their working environment,
it will definitely them in the upcoming successes. They need to examine their
respective assumptions and should incorporate a diverse range of examples so that
they can learn a few things accurately.

along with incorporating inclusive teaching and it should be practiced and developed
within themselves. Students are required to take intellectuals risks and that makes it
even more difficult to address the problems adequately. In this way, it will ensure
different kinds of backgrounds and preferences, which are required to be met. The
learning styles along with the desired abilities will help to diminish the barriers so that
it does not prevent the process of learning among the students.
e. Deliver inclusive teaching and learning: The implementation of
inclusive teaching has been involved in consciously working with the trainees to
adopt learning by acknowledging the mistakes such as biases along with traditional
differences. Therefore, it is a student’s responsibility for understanding discipline as
well as towards the institution (Maria 2013). Proper guidance along with
implementing strategies will help them to deliver inclusive learning and teaching will
incur more responsibilities so that they can allow an appropriate track towards the
students.
f. Assess learning in education along with learning: The
assessment of the process of learning is well described as the approach due to which
the focus will be acquainted upon the desired subjects (Nowakowski, Sumerau and
Mathers 2016). It will benefit the students to deliver high-level assessments in order
to acquire better safety measures for all the employees along with other people as
well.
g. Implement expectations, planning, delivering and assessing
inclusive teaching and learning: Therefore, planning should be implemented
accurately so that it will meet the desired expectations and teaching requires enough
dedication and discipline to support the students from every way (Schmeck 2013).
