The main aim of the WHS Acts is to secure the health and safety

safety policies outline the WHS obligations to the people who work in
the organization. The policies are applicable to the staffs, contractors
and other workers. The policies shows the commitment of the
business’s management and workers to health and safety aims to
remove or reduce the risks to the health, safety and welfare of all
workers, contractors and visitors, and anyone else who may be
affected by our business operations aims to ensure all work activities
are done safely (Potter, Leka and Dollar 2019).

Training need analysis tool. This tool is a method of identifying the
requirements of the training process in a cost effective way. The
process mainly involves training needs and weighing up the training
area at all the levels within the business organization.
The steps which has helped me in developing the training
development cycle is given below:
The name of the training program which was conducted isINFLUENT
– industry fluency learning platform. The estimated cost of the training
program is almost around$16,252.
7 Have you provided either coaching or mentoring assistance to
facilitate team and individual achievement of identified training needs?
Training was provided to the members and workers working in the
organization. I had developed a training need analysis. The Training
need analysis is usually very important for analysing the three levels of
needs which are the organizational, job task and individual need.
Organizational analysis is where the TNA links the training with the
corporate strategy and the Human resource development strategy. It
helps in considering that how well the organization is performing. It
helps in checking whether the organization is facing any challenge
with the implementation of the latest technologies or developmental
strategies like introduction of new and latest technologies.

Job Task Analysis – This is where the analysis moves to the individual
job roles where the role of the individuals are assessed and the gap
between the current and desired skills and capabilities are identified.
For this assessment the job description and specification are provided
to the basis of decision about the gaps in the capability levels.
Individual Analysis – It is where the training is provided after the
individual analysis and overall performance of the organization
(Rawling and Schofield-Georgeson 2018).
Training Program - I had started the group mentoring program where I
started with building the purpose of the mentorship program and then
defined the aspects to the trainees. After defining the purpose I
started searching for the problems and identified the participants for
the program. Depending on the available resources the goal for the
program will be set in order to build relationships among the
employees. At last the strategies will be set will be helping the
organization in maintaining the worker’s health and safety
management. I as well as my senior managers and executives sat
and discussed about setting the career goals and plans across the
business.
8 Have you made arrangements for the training needs to be met? Are
the costs included in annual plans and budgets?
The techniques used for the arrangements for the training are:
1. Telling the trainees what are the things which are needed
to be covered and providing them with a brief introduction.
2. Telling them what information will be shared with them in
the session and what are the topic s which will be
discussed.
3. Concluding the session with a summary of the opening
overview.
4. Using as much trainings on hand as because which will be
most effective in developing knowledge about the subject.

implementation and controlling a conduct of the risk assessment
(Horton, Cameron and Devaraj 2018). If necessary it is reacquired to
rethink of the changes which re to be made to control and prevent the
hazards in the workplace
Advising the workers will also be very helpful.
10 Are you monitoring outcomes of reports on inadequacies, where
appropriate, to ensure a prompt response from management?
Yes I am monitoring outcomes of reports on inadequacies, where
appropriate, to ensure a prompt response from management. There
are various cameras placed in the factory workplace which helps the
manager to keep an eye over the workers if they are injured or not.
Few months before it happened that one of the employees was
working under high pressure and he fell off from the cliff, In the
accident he had fractured his legs and several days were spend for
his medication in the hospital.
