| Summary: | The purpose of this research is to discover the unsafe acts or behaviours of the students
that might lead to accidents or injuries in UTP laboratories. Hence, a safety behaviours
assessment should be conducted to assess the unsafe acts or any behaviour in unsafe
condition. Mostly, the technique used is based on observation system whereby safety
observation will be piloted in during the students conduct their experiments which is
including equipment and chemical handling and safety behaviours in the laboratories.
Safety interventions will be applied in order to assist the students and as guidance to
reduce or prevent any accidents or injuries. It is estimated that after a certain period of
time, the statistic of unsafe behaviours will decrease even after without safety
interventions.
At the end of the research, this safety training model using behaviours-based safety
training program should be applicable for young adults especially during their tertiary
education. In addition, the school or college should also be able to develop and integrate
this safety program as part of compulsory method as it will be helpful before the
students are exposed to the real-life working situations. This is because most of the
accident and injury case in work-place are due to improper safety training and lack of
experiences by the newbies or the fresh graduated students. Therefore, this research will
help them to gain some knowledge and experiences before getting to work after
graduated from college or school. |
