Abstract :
In order to prevent accidents and occupational diseases in workplaces, it is necessary to ensure the control of risks. Training has always been a fundamental pillar of health safety and environment management systems. This study was carried out to find the interventional role of training in promotion
of HSE culture in wood industries. The Behsazan Wood Industry in Eslamshahr County, central Iran, was
selected as a case study. Initially two pre-test and post-test sessions were held for the supervisors and
workers in the company to assess the level of their HSE culture. The analysis of the training needs was done
in accordance with ISO 10015 after administration of the specified training programs. The outcomes were
analyzed using pre and post test statistical analysis. Finally, the relationship between training structures and
HSE culture was investigated using structural equation modeling (SEM). After codification and
implementation of six training courses, the results of the second part showed a significant difference in the
three sub-factors, including "HSE awareness and attitude"," staff capability", and "HSE reporting". The
noticeable changes in the sub-factor of "HSE awareness and attitude", as the most valuable result of this study,
obviously indicated that the training programs were tailored and conducted to the training needs of the
organization. Although the intervention seems to be effective from various aspects, however, it is often
comprehensive and resource demanding. Thus, it is highly recommended to improve learning outcomes in all
domains (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor) for planning promotion programs can be more effective in
this industry.
