In order to improve the safety performance of the worker, Safety and Health Induction Course for Construction Worker (SICW), the only mandatory safety training in Malaysia construction industry has been introduced to improve the employees’ safety knowledge and awareness. However, SICW has never been evaluated in term of its effectiveness in delivering safety knowledge and awareness to the workers since it was introduced. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to evaluate the effectiveness of SICW in delivering safety knowledge and awareness to the workers and to suggest the factors that will improve its effectiveness. Pre-test (before training) and post-test (after-training) evaluation method has been employed in this research to evaluate the effectiveness of SICW. Two sets of questionnaire were employed, one was distributed before the training started and another was distributed after the training ended. The data obtained from two sets of questionnaire were then compared to analyse the changes in terms of safety knowledge and awareness after attending SICW. The results showed that both participants’ safety awareness and safety knowledge have some improvements after the training, however only safety knowledge showed significance difference. The overall findings showed that SICW was effective in improving the safety knowledge and awareness of the participants as the training program has met the training objectives. The evaluation also indicated that language, training instructional method, training material and practice factors were the weaknesses of SICW. Those factors could be improved to ensure the effectiveness of SICW. This research could serve as a guideline for improving the effectiveness of SICW. 2015-06 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53770/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53770/1/AlfredGohPuiTeckMFGHT2015.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:85255 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Geoinformation and Real Estate Faculty of Geoinformation and Real Estate
