HSE induction training concept development for ABB Oy

The objective for this developmental research was to develop the HSE induction training of ABB Oy by creating a new HSE induction training concept. The development of the concept was done in co-operation with the experts and managers from ABB Oy Large Motors and Generators Helsinki, ABB Oy Motors and Generators Vaasa, and ABB Oy Drives Helsinki. The aim of thesis was to create a functional HSE induction training concept to be provided for a service provider to create an induction training for ABB Oy. The HSE induction training concept was designed to be used as a tool for the new and existing employees to self-study the HSE matters of the factory with the training but was later identified also as a tool for the managers and the experts to use for inducting employees to the factory. The concept was created using the acquired information gained from reviewing existing internal documents of ABB Oy, semi-structured interviews, and from the workshop held together with the HSE teams and the HSE managers of ABB Oy large Motors and Generators Helsinki, Motors and Generators Vaasa and Drives Helsinki. The data collected and analysed from the document review was used to create the majority of the concept but was supported by the data collected from the interviews and the workshop. The theoretical framework of the concept was supported by legislation, standards and scientifical literature on induction training. Alongside with the previously mentioned sources, articles on HSE related matters were also reviewed to gain information to support the theoretical background. Problems were faced during the data collection phase of the thesis due to communication issues and summer holidays in ABB Oy. The further development of the induction training was later delegated to the HSE team of Large Motors and Generators Helsinki
