Explain how to meet own specific personal and professional development goals while on work placement.
A “Personal Development Plan” is a written account of development and self-reflection, which doubles up as a detailed action plan used to accomplish academic, individual, or professional goals. It’s typically created within the workplace or when studying, and works by allowing you to establish your goals, distinguish your strong points and weaknesses, and recognize the necessity for development. Objectives are assigned based on the areas you’d like to progress on, and the plan is comprised of your own personalised actions that will help you to accomplish them.

Explain own responsibilities and limitations on work experience in engineering.
I will follow instructions from the company on health and safety matters and attend relevant health and safety training.
I will report hazards and defects observed in the workplace and an employer if I have concerns relating health and safety.

Risk assessment
As part of a business the health and safety risks must be controlled. Hazards need to be assessed to decide whether reasonable steps are being taken to prevent the harm.

Following a structured decision-making process, the ISA can make a „discretionary‟ barring decision.
Aggressive behaviour, harassment and bullying within the work place must be dealt with not only for the employee but the business. Workplace abuse can be highly damaging, with incidents being far too frequent. It can cause legal repercussions, loss of employees and damage companies reputations.
