ASSIGNMENT

Unit VI Assignment

Training Budget Worksheet

In Unit V, we prepared a lesson plan for a safety training topic to be presented to Carter’s employees. In this assignment, we will develop a cost estimate and business case justification for the training.

1. Using the lesson plan you submitted for the Unit V Assignment, estimate the costs for the initial development and implementation of the training (year one). You can use Table 1 on page 92 of the course textbook as a guide, but the final format is up to you. You will not know many of the actual numbers, but you can use information from your own organization or from additional research. The “OSHA Business Case for Safety and Health” webpage is a good place to start your research: https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/products/topics/businesscase/costs.html

2. Prepare a 200-word paragraph to submit to top management that explains, in business terms, how the cost of the training will benefit the organization.

Save all of your work to one document, and submit it in Blackboard for grading.
