The following are some key feedback by the participants The training may be arranged for different business sector like RMG, Banking, Pharmaceuticals, and Ceramics etc. This training was nice as because of training delivery tools & techniques. Provided training handouts should be improved and need to provide soft copy so that we can share our learning with other colleagues at workplace. This is one of the best training programs as I have participated and love to join any other training program organized by the BEF. The training was wonderful & lives as most of the session visualized through video. More time should be allocated for legislative frame work of OSH session. It would be more better for the training program if there were any checklist used Training venue, food and logistics support was very good with efficient manner. Need to show the equipment while conducting PPE session A little more concentration need to be imposed on technical issues Wash room facility should be improved and clean Legislative framework session can be conducted by the lawyer or expert. Key factors to ensure compliance session may be conducted with more information Handout should be distributed before starting the training program and provide soft copy after end of the training program for easy knowledge sharing Give more time in technical discussion session Enjoyed more as some of the information is new for me. Allocate more time for legislative framework of OSH session Training duration may be increased for proper learning and it may 03 days long BEF has taken good initiatives to create good relationship among the member organization with informative and knowledge sharing. Biological hazard and first aid session should be included in the program schedule Training materials was not sufficient and should be improved More trainer may be involved for attractive training session The training was excellent, meaningful and satisfied us Sitting arrangement should be changed and it may round table for interactive Thanks to BEF to give opportunity to attend such types of training program Report of Training on workplace safety and compliance Page # 6 of 15

7 07. Favorable side of the Training: Most of participant s maintained time as per training schedule. They attended the venue on time and continued according to time though it was rainy day. The course was designed based on the current demand of the industry Friendly relationship has built up between resource person and participants. Approved curriculum and manual followed in the Training program. Relevant resource person conducted the training program as he is involved in whole process. The training was participatory where the facilitators addressed all the raised questions by the participants. Most of the sessions live through question-answer and participants were enjoyed with learning by doing. 08. Limitation of the Training: Sometimes can t give more time for technical session due to maximum number of participants Participant s level of understanding was not similar due to job experience so that as few of them raised questions too much and some of was silent. Duration of training was not too long as expected by the participants demand. This was a 16 working hour session so it s a difficult task to provide all the information regarding HR issues. Some sessions discussion not meet the participants demand Participants demanded the soft copy of the training materials but we have limitation to do so. 09. Recommendations for further improvement: It would be more better for the training program and we could know lots of different ideas, knowledge & views if may arrange two or more facilitators Duration of the training may increase and it may 03 days long. Legislative framework of OSH session need to be conducted by the lawyer Need to organize refreshers course with the same participants after six month Try to arrange the training program for 25 to 30 participants for each batch, so that resource person can easily applied participatory training methodology Soft copy materials may be provide to the participants after end of the training 10.
