XWT1: Training Plan
Training Plan
A1.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The worksite in question was visited by OSHA and was found to have many violations. The
supervisors are not providing the needed equipment or keeping the worksite within the safe working
parameters. Fall protection systems were not in use. Protective headgear and eye and hearing
protection were not worn by workers at the jobsite. A radial arm saw, that was in use, was missing a
blade guard. Used nails and roofing debris were covering walking and working surfaces. Ladders were
not equipped with braces or stabilizers, to help keep them steady.
A2. PURPOSE OF THE TRAINING PLAN
The purpose of the training plan for the supervisors, is to make them aware of the problems
that they have and how to prevent them. It will teach them of OSHA standards and how to maintain a
safer work environment. The training plan will help the supervisors succeed at their jobs, that will
then hopefully trickle down to the other employees.
In a safer workplace environment, the company will save a lot of money on disability and
workman’s compensation claims. Less workers will have to take off work, due to injury, so fewer
standby workers will be needed. A safety training plan will also help our reputation. People do not
want to hire a company for a job, if they must worry about someone hurting themselves. When you
have a good reputation, more people will spread the word about you, and you will get more jobs.
A3. TRAINING PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this training program is to educate the construction site supervisors of
how to run a safer worksite. They will learn the importance of having the correct safety equipment at
every worksite and ensure that the workers are using them. They will know how to inspect all tools
and keep them maintained for everyday use. They will be taught how to keep a clean worksite. OSHA
rules and regulations will be at the forefront of the training process.
A4. SKILLS GAPS
4 skills gaps that are present are:
1)
The incident paperwork that is required on every workplace injury or illness is not being
turned in on time. The paperwork is also not completed correctly.
PAGE 1
XWT1: Training Plan
2)
The supervisors are responsible for maintaining a safe work environment. Fall protection
systems are a necessity when completing a roofing job. During the OSHA inspection, there
was no visible evidence of warning line systems, guardrail systems, or safety harnesses or
ropes.
3)
OSHA laws are required to be always followed by the supervisors while workers are on
duty. The supervisors did not have enough safety equipment on hand for the employees
and what equipment they did have, was not in use by the workers.
4)
According to OSHA regulations, whenever ladders are in use, they must be secure to
prevent them from falling. During the inspection, ladders were found without braces or
stabilizers.
A5. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The learning objectives for the skill gaps are:
1)
The supervisors will learn how to complete the required paperwork with all necessary
information. They will also now the timelines of when to turn in the paperwork by.
2)
The supervisors will learn the importance of fall protection systems. They will learn how
to properly install guardrail systems and warning line systems. They will also learn how to
instruct the workers to wear harnesses and use ropes.
3)
The supervisors will gain the knowledge of what PPE is necessary to have on hand each
day. They will know the importance of requiring all workers to use PPE every day.
4)
The supervisors will learn how to properly install ladder braces and stabilizers and will
gain the knowledge of the importance of always using them.
A6. BEHAVIOR CHANGES AS A RESULT OF TRAINING
After the training has been completed with the Alliah Construction supervisors, their behaviors
should be as follows:
1)
When it comes to incident paperwork, the supervisors will be diligent about getting the
paperwork completed early and filled out completely.
2)
After training, the supervisors will now arrive to the jobsite early and start to set up the
fall protection systems. They will then periodically check the jobsites to ensure that the
workers are using the purchased fall protection systems. If not, the supervisor will have
the confidence to discipline violating employees.
3)
The supervisor will have the correct PPE available to all employees and will have extra on
hand just in case it is needed. The supervisor will have the ability to make the employees
use the equipment or consequences will occur.
4)
After training, the supervisor will install braces and stabilizers on all ladders. They will
visit worksites and verify that all ladders have braces and stabilizers and are being
utilized.
A7. PROGRAM DESIGN
The recommended training program should be created externally. With the amount violations
found in the OSHA report, there needs to be an outside influence to teach the entire company how to
correct these violations and prevent them from happening again. While an external training program
PAGE 2
XWT1: Training Plan
will cost more, it is necessary for Alliah Construction to learn from someone else, because their
current ways are not correct.
A8. DELIVERY METHOD
The 2 training delivery methods I would recommend are:
1.
Lecture and Discussion- The lecture and discussion methods are necessary because
the supervisors at Alliah Construction need to learn how to effectively lead their
workers and how to properly lead safety meetings. During the lecture and discussion
training, the presenters could show pictures or videos of workplace accidents, to
show the supervisors why it is important to follow the OSHA regulations that they
have failed to do. They could also give the supervisors the OSHA manual for them to
read and have a test over.
2.
Role Playing and Behavior Modeling Training- During the role-playing training, it
would be beneficial for the supervisors to go out on a simulated worksite to learn and
perform the OSHA violations that have been committed. They need to learn how to
install a guardrail system and how to use ropes and harnesses, so that they can teach
their work crews on how to follow OSHA standards and complete their jobs safely. In
the behavior modeling training, they will learn how to speak to their workers that are
not following safe practices and they will practice how to fill out incident reports
completely.
A9. TRAINING FACILITY
The facility where trainings are held, can have a major impact on how the trainings are
received. For the lecture and discussion training, the best facility would be in a large conference room
with a table and multimedia capabilities. The trainees will need the table to take notes on and the
multimedia will be needed for showing a PowerPoint, pictures, or videos. For the role playing and
behavior modeling training, the proper training facility would be a simulated worksite. On a simulated
worksite, they would have the capabilities of role-playing the safety situations that they have failed on
in the past.
A10. TRAINING FACILITATOR
The individuals that should conduct these trainings would need to be a subject matter expert.
The reason a subject matter expert would be best is because a construction company has very specific
jobs. It needs someone who is proficient in the construction and roofing trades to be able to properly
show the role-playing exercises, without getting injured themselves.
A11. PILOT TEST PROCESS
The pilot test is, in sense, a dress rehearsal for the training that will take place. It is used to work
out any kinks that may be present before conducting the actual training.

XWT1: Training Plan
During the pilot test, the training content will be evaluated for how effective the material is, to
make sure timing is correct, and to verify the facilities chosen are adequate. Feedback will be given so
that any discrepancies can be addressed and corrected.
The participants in the pilot test would be a select group of supervisors that will be going through
the actual training. There will also be some lead workers and individuals from other parts to the
company.
During the pilot test, we hope that the feedback is positive. This would let us know that the
material and hands-on is appropriate to address the violations and correct them. If any negative
feedback is given, that portion of the training will be reassessed and corrected. Negative feedback is
not always a negative, it is just a way to make things better.
Feedback would need to be submitted within a week or two after the pilot test, so that any
corrections could be completed in a timely manner.
Once the feedback is received, it will be evaluated to determine if it is positive or negative. The
positive feedback will be reviewed to find any suggestions for improvement of the training, only minor
tweaks should be needed. Next, the negative feedback will go through a more intense review. The
training process will be reevaluated, and all feedback will be considered. Any updates to the training
that are deemed necessary, will be updated.
A12. INTERNAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
The internal communication strategy will be a required training for all supervisors in the roofing
department within Alliah Construction. The training focuses on the knowledge, skills, and abilities
that the supervisors would need to possess to effectively lead their workers in a safe working
environment. The trainers will communicate with the supervisors of the seriousness of the
training and will be shown real-world examples of what can happen when the safety guidelines
are not adhered to. After the training, there will be monthly check-ins to ensure that the safety
measures are in place and that the occurrence of workplace incidents has decreased. These check-
ins will recognize the supervisors in a positive manner by recognizing the good work they are
doing by creating safer work environments. A bonus system would also be put in place, to reward
supervisors for completing the training and maintaining a safe worksite.

months, there will be random spot checks at
worksites to ensure that the supervisors have
taught the workers how to set them up and that
they are using them on every job.
The supervisors will gain the knowledge of what
PPE is necessary to have on hand each day. They
will know the importance of requiring all
workers to use PPE every day.
After the training, the supervisors will have to
take a test on the kind of PPE and there uses.
There will be worksite spot checks to verify that
the workers are using the correct PPE.
The supervisors will learn how to properly
install ladder braces and stabilizers and will
gain the knowledge of the importance of always
using them.
After training, the supervisors will have to
demonstrate how to install ladder braces and
stabilizers and explain why they are needed.
Spot checks will be completed to ensure
compliance.
A14. TRAINING TRANSFER
Two months after the training, OSHA did a follow up visit to a worksite and found that the
previous violations were no longer present. The supervisors had taken the steps to ensure the
workers safety. The supervisors were maintaining correct records of any incidents that had occurred
and were able to produce them when they were asked for. The supervisors were demonstrating the
knowledge they had learned in the training.
One month after the training, the workers were given a test on some of the things that the
supervisors had been taught. The workers were able to demonstrate how to install guardrail and
warning line systems, they were seen wearing the correct PPE for the job they were completing, and
all ladders were equipped with braces and stabilizers. The supervisors were showing the skills that
they had learned from the training.
