Training and Supervising Workers (Webinar)

This course is suitable for all:

• Entry level forepersons, onsite supervisors and operations managers in the construction industry, or those who are experienced if they have learnt on the job and would benefit from having a framework put around their knowledge, skill and experience.
• Construction workers who have responsibilities for training, supervision and monitoring of workers (including informally, e.g., mentoring, facilitating toolbox talks, etc.), competence assessments, SSSP/risk management documentation, developing training policies, procedures and programmes (whether formal or informal).
• The course content is not directly relevant to non-operational managers, administrators or non-construction personnel.

These descriptors do not exclude other learners from being accepted; however, the course design and level of content matches best the learners described above.

• Explain the main principles of a risk management-based approach to training and supervising workers.
• Analyse incidents involving gaps in competence by applying key provisions of the HSWA 2015
• Communicate the need for improving health and safety and supervision and training in the construction industry.
• Identify a worker’s training and supervision needs by following risk management-based principles.
• Manage and assign supervision on-site using standard industry processes.
• Design training opportunities based on assessments of worker competence.

You will need to complete and submit a take home assignment within 3 months of attending the course.

• The development of three core principles for describing the role of training and supervision in H&S
• The need for developing sound training and supervision oversight and management based on:
  • the impact of worker ‘gaps in competence’ and lack of training and supervision on:
    • worker H&S in terms of fatalities.
    • individuals and PCBUs (introduction of term ‘competence management’) as victims and through enforcement of HSWA 2015.
  • wider benefits (beyond physical H&S) to workers and to businesses, particularly in regard to levels of stress, workload and profitability.
• Risk management-based principles for managing competence and providing training and supervision.
• Demonstration and practice activities based on the key principles of risk management:
  • Identifying and assessing risk by identifying training and supervision needs.
  • Controlling risk by providing training and supervision.
  • Monitoring and reviewing the provision of training and supervision.
• Learner reflection on course content in light of their own personal and company contexts.
