Learning Outcome 1 - Be able to identify new developments in health and safety

1.1 Evaluate sources of information and advice on the latest developments in health and
safety.
Evaluating sources of information and advice on the latest developments in health and safety is
essential to ensure that organizations stay informed about evolving safety standards, regulations,
and best practices. Government agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) in the United States or the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK,
are authoritative sources of health and safety information. Academic institutions and research
organizations conduct studies and publish research papers related to health and safety. At SAUDI
ARCHIRODON PVT LTD as a HSE Engineer I coordinate all HSE activities & ensure that
personnel are compliance with all HSE regulations andpractices. I collaborate with other levels of
engineering staff, quality assurance, quality improvement, regulatory compliance specialists, etc. I
advise line directors on health and safety issues, the recent improvements in health and safety and
how to guarantee consistence through administration data, and global relevant enactment in
conformance with OHSAS 18001-2007, HSEUK and IOSH UK. There are various sources I used to
remain updated about latest advancement in health and safety. I get a copy of their notices,
messages, most recent health and safety news, and SHP electronic advises through email. I have
subscribed to Health and Safety Executive UK advisories and receive them via email.I maintain
proper documentation of all records such as NearMisses, Incident investigation reports etc. I ensure
that all precautions are implemented for peopleworking in confined spaces (permanent ventilation
by fans, permanent O2 measurements, safety watcher. I frequently inspect the work site, report any
unsafe acts/conditions provide recommendations to correct deficiencies and follow-up to verify
corrective actions have been taken.

1.2 Evaluate the impact on the organisation of developments in health and safety
legislation, policies and practices.
The impact of developments in health and safety legislation, policies, and practices on an organization
can be substantial and multifaceted. Being a HSE Engineer I ensure good housekeeping on site and
work areas. To ensure all necessary precautions at the job site and ensure that individuals are inducted
are trained for certain activities. I perceive the latest improvements in health and safety by means of
newscasts, emails, journals, and the web and afterward comparing them with the models. I work on the
vital changes that could affect the organization, like a survey of strategy and practices, and I keep
companies updated of the results of the tests. I present the aftereffects of the assessment with the
management at on-site and in-house meetings to take comprehension of the principles and their impact
on the organization. I also discuss the implications of the analysis with the staff that is unable to access
emails and is not well educated through toolbox conversations at work to take cognizance of the most
recent advancements in health and safety practices, law, and its influence on the company.
developments in health and safety legislation, policies, and practices can have far-reaching impacts on
organizations, encompassing compliance, safety culture, costs, competitiveness, employee well-being,
and more. To navigate these impacts effectively, organizations should stay informed about changes in
the field of health and safety and proactively adapt their practices to align with emerging standards and
best practices.

1.3 Advocate the adoption in the organisation of new developments in health and safety
matters.
Advocating the adoption of new developments in health and safety matters within an organization
is crucial for fostering a safer and healthier work environment. At SAUDI ARCHIRODON PVT
LTD during my investigation on the latest development in health andsafety, I found that there were
a few changes in safety guidelines and rules that express that any businesswho abuses the guideline
and is arraigned of a subsequent offense, the fine, and detainment and endorses will be expanded.
If exposed to silicosis, monitoring will be based on the level of exposure. Depending on these
corporate procedural surveys, a report concerning changes was made for organization so our
partnership could ensure consistence to the guidelines and stay away from any legitimate
repercussions. To address this, I organized a special TBT/Training with the laborers in which I
covered current challenges with the labor force about development laborers, PPE, and
advancement in health and safety, its impact on the organization, and how to guarantee
prerequisites with respect to guidelines. I consistently submit reports on health and safety to my
supervision that I found from emailand archives from government offices. Inadvocating for the adoption
of new developments in health and safety matters, it's essential to communicate the tangible benefits, including
improvedsafety,legalcompliance,costsavings,andcompetitiveadvantage.Collaborative effortsinvolvingemployees,
management, and safety experts can facilitate the successful implementation of these developments. Additionally,
organizations should allocate resources and provide training to ensure that new practices are effectively integrated into
the workplace.Ultimately,a strongcommitmenttohealthandsafetynotonlyprotectsemployees butalsocontributesto
theorganization'slong-termsuccess.

Learning Outcome 3 - Know how to maintain knowledge of improvements in health and

safety

3.1 Explain the nature and role of improvements in health and safety practice within the
organisation and how they can impact on the business.
Improvements in health and safety practices within an organization are essential for creating a safer
work environment and can have a significant impact on the business as a whole.Changes in
legislation can necessitate adjustments to an organization's safety policies and practices to remain
compliant. Non-compliance can result in fines, legal actions, and reputational damage. Updated
legislation and best practices often lead to higher safety standards, which can enhance workplace
safety. Evolving safety practices and policies can foster a culture of safety within the organization,
emphasizing the importance of safety in all activities. I was employed by SAUDI ARCHIRODON
PVT LTD as a HSE Officer to investigate all the near miss, incident accident and report to
management for action. I monitor implementation of safety plans according to plans and objectives.
I monitor and track safety systems by using computer systems and spreadsheets and communicate
plans and strategies across the entire business unit from time to time. I noticed that workers are
utilizing a safety belt that was insufficient to prevent accidents if anybody fell. I introduced full
body strap with dampener, it is helping on the worksite to reduce the seriousness of the injury. I am
occupied with the creation, conservation, and assessment of the organization's management stage,
health and safety practices, which support safe workplace and bringing issues to light among the
employees.Changes I made have extraordinarily added to the protected execution of exercises and
the minimization of misfortunes, harm to resources or innovation. improvements in health and
safety practice within an organization are essential for protecting employees, complying with
regulations, reducing costs, enhancing reputation, and achieving long-term business success. A
proactive approach to safety not only safeguards employees but also strengthens the organization's
position in the marketplace and fosters a culture of responsibility and resilience.
3.2 Evaluate print-based and electronic sources of information and advice on health and
safety matters.
Evaluating print-based and electronic sources of information and advice on health and safety
matters is essential to ensure that organizations access credible and reliable information for their
safety practices.There are different electronic and written assets of proper documentation and
direction. SHP email cautions/versions are an advanced data source that gives health and safety
exhortation and data on the latest developments in health and safety. Print-based list, offering
health and safety proposals is one of the data sources. IOSH UK and IIRSM UK gave electronic
 Unit 10 K/616/9541
help and data. I'm a fellow individual from NEBOSH, and I get news and data on health and safety
practices by email from them. his choice isn't accessible to non-individuals. Government and
Regulatory Websites offer authoritative and up-to-date information on safety regulations. It provide
legal requirements and compliance guidance. Free and reliable sources of information. From this, I
found exploration papers and health and safety practices that I could use on my worksite to
guarantee adherence to laws and principles. Online Forums and Communities facilitate discussions
and knowledge sharing among safety professionals. Provide practical insights and real-world
experiences.Both print-based and electronic sources of health and safety information and advice
have their advantages and disadvantages. The choice of sources should be based on the
organization's specific needs, the reliability and currency of the information, and the preferred
format for information delivery. Combining various sources and regularly updating knowledge is
often the best approach to ensure a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of health and
safety matters.

3.3 Explain principles of:

 Effective written and verbal communication
 Electronic means of communication
Effective communication is crucial in various aspects of life, whether it's in personal relationships,
professional settings, or even electronic communication. I implement internal management system
requirements and procedures for the site team. I report directly to the project manager regarding all
matters, ensure that all new employees or operates working with company received the orientation
program with days joining. I monitor, assess and report on contractor and sub-contractors compliance
with the project requirements as per the contract. I issue ontime within hours and during the weekly
progress meetings, notify the contractor of any outstanding and critical safety issues. I observe and
monitor Emergency mock drills and recommend corrective actions on deviations observed. I
participate in formal client and employer Health and Safety Inspections. I utilize presentation and
communication tools, emails, updates, notification, and best practices alarms inside the organization.
Key elements of efficient speech and in writing that have been defined within our company are
category of population to whom the information is to be delivered or conveyed (for example,
managers and employee) and variety of safety and health material to be shared(e.g., HSE warning or
practice). Linguistic vary depending on who is communicating inside the organization and/or
workforce. I completely understand that communication given to labourers in variety of languages is
important. As a result, I recently delivered a lecture / training using a variety oflanguages, in which I
used English for those who understood it and responded. Still, I engage in manylanguages with the
personnel to promote communication skills. Effective communication is essential for building
relationships, sharing information, and achieving goals in various personal and professional contexts.

3.4 Explain external factors influencing improvements in health and safety practice:
 Professional, non – professional and technical groups
 Professional organisations
External factors play a significant role in influencing improvements in health and safety practices.
These factors can include the influence of professional, non-professional, and technical groups, as
well as professional organizations. Professional groups, such as medical associations, engineering
societies, and occupational safety organizations, often consist of highly trained and experienced
individuals. These experts can share their knowledge and expertise, leading to the development of
best practices and standards in health and safety. Non-professional groups, including community
organizations, advocacy groups, and grassroots movements, can raise public awareness about health
and safety issues. Their advocacy can lead to increased demand for better safety measures and
practices. I ensure compliance with legal requirements related to safety of personnel and equipment,
environmental regulations and other prevailing legal statutory legal requirements related to HSE. One
of the key outside factors that should be clung to and follow are the brilliant guidelines set by SAUDI
ARCHIRODON PVT LTD’ clients. One illustration of effect is that this client has a "zero
resistance"strategy for driver training and working at height guidelines. They have recently embraced
different missions, and wrongdoers are punished suitably. Numerous customers nowadays need
specific things against health and safety guidelines for associations to get business from them while
 Unit 10 K/616/9541
submitting bid/delicate, which is one of the outer elements that influence health and safety practice
positively for associations. It demands employers to guarantee health and safety and development and
audit of healthand safety practices. professional, non-professional, and technical groups, along with
professional organizations, play critical roles in shaping and improving health and safety practices.
Their expertise, advocacy, research, and influence contribute to the development and implementation
of safer workplaces, products, and environments. These external factors help ensure that health and
safety remain a priority in various industries and communities.
