There has been a dramatic change to the perceptions of OHS training in the workplace in the last 10 years. We have moved from an environment where regulation and government bodies lost sight of what was reasonable, practicable and meaningful for employees and employers.
In 2020 OHS is highly regarded by employers and employees and there is a common respect for OHS training and auditing. Trainers play an important part in educating both parties about the OHS Act and how to adhere to the Codes of Practice. There is an overwhelming compliance culture which ensures that Codes of practice and legislation are followed systematically and willingly. Now that the it has been clarified what is reasonable, practicable and meaningful, accidents and injuries are at the lowest they have been in 60 years. This downward trend is set to continue and we aim to achieve a zero accident workplace by 2025
What are the key things that i can take away from it for my own work as a trainer?
When providing learning to clients it is always important to keep in mind the purpose of the training. As trainers the aim is to provide an environment and material that will meet the clients needs, however in some cases attendees may feel that the course has not provided them with the tools that they need. It is important to take on board any feedback so that where possible improvements can be made.
What are my favourite top 5 ideas for a Utopian learning future?
1. The learning class room is set up so that desks and chairs are completely adjusted by the learner.
2.Consistent standards across all Australian States.
3. OHS injuries and accidents are reduced due to improved compliance of legislation, codes of practice etc. Increased automation in some areas can help with this.
4. Increased training and awareness of relevant issues such as OHS.
5. With improvements in technology, virtual classrooms may be more accessible to more people across the country.
