Kirkpatrick’S Model

In response to the demanding change in work environments, most companies not only depend on traditional training, but also on e-learning and emphasizing it in safety and health. The benefits and cost effectiveness of the benefits of e-learning training are trusted. Nevertheless, accidents still happen at the workplace. This has become an issue to be studied, especially on the effectiveness of e-learning training in comparison to traditional training. In this study, a framework to measure comparative effectiveness between these two learning environments was developed based on Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation model and a case study was applied to test all the levels of the framework. These four levels include participant reaction, learning, achievements, behavior of employees, and results. The interview results indicated that there is no difference in the rating of the effectiveness of the two training methods based on Kirkpatrick’s model.

The Relationship

Purpose: To search for training methods for specialists in industrial safety, environmental and occupational safety and health in conditions of insufficient (or absent) laboratory support and to study the relationship between the student learning approach and acquired competencies. Design/methodology/approach: To study modern advances in industrial safety, environmental and occupational safety and health and training methods for specialists a systematic literature review approach has been used. For publications from 2017, queries were asked through keywords and safety related topics. To relationship study between the student learning approach and acquired competencies a student survey on random sampling has been used. A total of 112 students of the 3rd and 4th year of study at the university were interviewed. Findings: The results of the survey showed that the students’ number who simultaneously successfully answered theoretical questions and completed practical tasks is 33.8% from the group with theoretical training and 75% from the group that was trained in the workplace. The relationship between the groups with a visit to the existing enterprise and acquired competencies was justified by the association coefficient and contingency coefficient that are 0.7 and 0.4 respectively. Research limitations/implications: A student’s survey was conducted at only one university. Questions were asked only according to the curriculum of the course “Labour Protection”. No survey for other training courses conducted. Practical implications: The research results are reasonable and can be applied at universities to improve the educational process of training specialists. Originality/value: It was proposed that students be trained using existing enterprises as a laboratory base and by the methods of statistics mathematical processing was substantiated the proposal feasibility.

Current Design

The Japanese Industrial Safety and Health Law was revised in March 2009 to introduce new measures concerning accidental falls in the construction industry. This revision mandates the use of guard rails, handrails, and other scaffold components. The wind load criteria and structural specifications of scaffolds are regulated by current design codes. Nevertheless, these provisions do not necessarily comply with the newly incorporated legal requirements because they apply to old-style scaffolds. This study examined the wind force on scaffolds by wind tunnel test, with baseboard height used as a parameter. The wind force coefficient of one story of scaffolds was calculated. Wind force coefficient increased as baseboard height increased. The wind force on the scaffolds equipped with baseboards is 9.2 times that on the scaffolds without baseboards. The baseboard must be greater than or equal to 15 cm to satisfy regulation requirements. The wind force coefficient of scaffolds with a 15 cm baseboard is 1.5 times that of the scaffolds without a baseboard. In scaffold design, baseboard height should be considered to guarantee a suitable wind force coefficient.
