Developing a Safety Training Program Focusing on Machine Maintenance

The study was about improving safety and machine maintenance in the organisation, the organisation was facing a problem of not having fully trained employees which leads to machine breakdown, which can cause hazards. The study aimed to develop a safety training program that also looks at machine maintenance. The study had four main objectives, proposing a safety training program, analysing training materials used in the organization, outsourcing new practices that will improve machine learning and identifying areas to improve current practices. Interviews were conducted as one of the methodologies to identify exactly what the problem is and the gap that the current practices are leaving in terms of organisational safety. The study found that a majority of employees were aware of the maintenance issues of the machinery, however had no context in terms of when the maintenance should be undertaken. The study recommended that a training program for workers should be provided, focusing on the machine safety and machine maintenance.

Abstract

The study was about improving safety and machine maintenance in the organisation, the organisation was facing a problem of not having fully trained employees which leads to machine breakdown, which can cause hazards. The study aimed to develop a safety training program that also looks at machine maintenance. The study had four main objectives, proposing a safety training program, analysing training materials used in the organization, outsourcing new practices that will improve machine learning and identifying areas to improve current practices. Interviews were conducted as one of the methodologies to identify exactly what the problem is and the gap that the current practices are leaving in terms of organisational safety. The study found that a majority of employees were aware of the maintenance issues of the machinery, however had no context in terms of when the maintenance should be undertaken. The study recommended that a training program for workers should be provided, focusing on the machine safety and machine maintenance.
