Personal Learning Activity - SWOT Analysis Tips
Reflective practice and continuing professional development are critical to your professional development in
providing Professional Health and Safety support and advice.
Use the SWOT analysis to critically analyse your current development requirements. Use feedback from
colleagues, managers, other external evaluators and/or your appraisal process. There are many other
forms of input you could seek, use your imagination and use this as an opportunity to make improvement in
yourself and your future career. When thinking of future opportunities consider how technology could
enhance the learning and improve knowledge and practical skills.

strengths (feedback)?
*Consider these from your own point of view and

* A useful approach to looking at opportunities is to
look at your strengths and ask yourself whether
these open up any opportunities. Alternatively, look
at your weaknesses and ask whether you could find
opportunities to eliminate them.
* Do you have past experience of trying and
failing to achieve your goals? How could this
affect you? What can you learn from this

Reflective Commentary on CPD Activities Undertaken During this Qualification Recorded in your
CPD Section.
Unit 4 – Element 4
Advice for completing Reflective Commentaries on CPD Activities.
Think about a situation or incident which may have occurred in your organisation.
Reflect on how it links to one of the recorded CPD events you have completed and recorded in the
previous section.
Evaluate the ethical issues that arose for the incident or situation. (These issues can be either positive or
negative).
Make sure you describe these and your opinions clearly.
This needs to be completed for CPD Events you have recorded in your CPD Record.
Please provide 2 pieces of evidence to support your reflective comment and what you have completed/
undertaken to develop your knowledge and practice in Health and Safety.
Reference evidence in your response from the workplace to support it. (minimum 2 pieces of workplace
evidence).
Please ensure you include in the written responses if possible, examples of equality and diversity,
inclusivity, ethics, dignity, values and benefits of the activity recorded, code of conduct (personal or
organisational).
Your reflective commentary will be assessed on the quality of content in line with the unit it is related to,
your CPD activity you have recorded in your CPD log and in line with your development plan.
Reflective Commentary on CPD Activity Entry - Unit 4 - Element 4 - Criteria B, D, E & F
(Approximate word count 300-400 words)
As and when new projects are awarded to us and I have to deploy the team at site in accordance with
the HSE requirements one of the first thing that I have to undertake is to get everyone HSE aware. I
have to do this training in multi lingual platforms to ensure the ethics, equality and inclusiveness is
ensured. While arranging for the safety awareness talk at site for PS5 Alba project I ensured that the
verbal communication was made in as many languages as there were the workers speaking and also
ensured it catered for everybody’s assimilation level to ensure equality and inclusiveness.
Further when the project activities went on there were willingly omissions from the side of individual
personnel that I observed is happening. To thwart this trend, I had to take punitive actions on the erring
individuals. If I go about it in a haphazard manner then it can then slip up and tread into territories which
are illegal, against ethics, business code and equality. Therefore, I went ahead to formalise the punitive
actions by charting out schedule of Penalties such that it becomes binding on personnel in a manner
similar to all while ensuring ethics, business code and equality are catered for.
I started off with training evaluation to ensure that everyone understands the training topics and I am in
a position to get a feedback on the training effectiveness on a constant basis. This also gave a venue
for the workforce to air their feedback on the training offered thus making it all inclusive and effective. I
did some research and came up with a training evaluation form which I included it as a part of IMS
manual such that this particular form is used all across the site and thus is standardised. This made the
Level 6 NVQ Diploma in OH&SP
CPD Workbook
Unit 4: (R/616/9534)
extraction of feedback from each form easy.
I started with codifying the safety guidelines to the workforce to remove all the confusion that they might
have by getting safety lessons from different sources like internal training, client, third party etc. So to
make things easy for them and to ensure same set of standards are promulgated for each one at site to
adhere to I reviewed all such documents and training materials and came out with the safety guidelines
for each person so that things became homogeneous and easy to follow. This ensured inclusiveness of
every person in contributing ton the safety standards at site.
