Developing a Handwashing Session Plan: WHS and Constraints Analysis

This document presents a detailed session plan for a handwashing training program designed to curb the spread of COVID-19. The plan includes a comprehensive overview of the session, outlining the session type, length, and learning objectives. It addresses critical aspects such as identifying and assessing Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) risks, including chemical spillage and slips, and also considers constraints like the cost of materials and learner availability. The plan incorporates various learning materials, learner characteristics, and needs, along with a detailed outline of the session activities, from introduction to conclusion, including assessment methods like practical demonstrations and feedback collection. The session follows the WHO recommended eight steps of handwashing. This resource is a valuable example for anyone involved in training and professional development, emphasizing practical application and risk management in a public health context.

WHS Risks
Guidance: Identify at least two (2) WHS risks to the delivery
of the program and briefly explain each. Assess each risk
and determine how they could potentially impact the
training.
1. Chemical Spillage- detergents will be used
during the training session and there a risk
of it spilling into the learner’s eyes. This may
interfere with learning session
2. Slips- the detergent might also spill on the floor
hence causing slips on learners who step on it.
This may cause injuries.
Constraints to
delivery
Guidance: Identify at least two (2) constraints to the delivery
of the program and briefly explain each. Assess each
constraint and determine how they could potentially impact
the training.
Cost of training- purchase of materials such as
detergents to be used during the training might be
an issue. This may lead to lack of materials for
training.
Availability of learners- the learners may not be all
available at once. This may interfere with
planning.
