ACTIVITY 8 | OLCBHRM01

1. If an employee - who has worked for a company for many years – is


relocated to a different department, are they considered a new
worker, and should they have to undergo safety orientation and safe
work procedure training again, and why?
- This is considered a new worker although it had worked in the
same company for a few years it had changed to a new position of the
company and it now had knowledge regarding the positions.
By definition, a new worker is any worker who is, "affected by a change
in the hazards of a workplace or relocated to a new workplace if the
hazards in that workplace are different from the hazards in the
worker's previous workplace." That is why they need to undergo safety
orientation and safe work procedure training about the company for
him/ her to know the department's policies. The working environment
or the new workplace that they have in the relocated department is
different from the workplace that he/she experienced before. Also,
having training again will help the individual to build a relationship
since he/she is relocated to a new department and not close to the
employee that he/she was going to.

2. If you leave a company, and a few months


later get re-hired for the exact same job position, are you considered a new
worker, and what type of training should follow?
- If the job positions you are returning to have not changed at all since you left, you
would not be considered a new worker in this case. Although you had to leave your
company for a few months, if the job positions that had to return to did not change at
all from the date you leave and back, you are not considered a new worker. The
training that should be followed will be the previous company training programs such
as the customer service training program, products and service knowledge training,
and others. I am not considered a new worker if I work. Unless I worked in the
company for less than a year. I should not have to go through the procedures or
training as the new hires because I was able to do my job before I came back to the
company. If any the company has a new policy, I will just follow it. Because I only
spent a few months with the company I joined before and for me, I still must go
through training so that I can be more flexible in the policies of the company I joined.
