Attending Safety and Health Induction Course (SHIC) is compulsory for construction workers before they can enter and work in this site.After attending this training, they will get the Green Card which allows them to start working on the sites.However, the PowerPoint (PPT) still be used as an existing medium which has been used to disseminate the safety information in SHIC using the Malay language and English as a mediator. Thus, this study examines the level of technology acceptance of foreign worker towards PPT after attending the training, which assessed using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in order to seek their response.It is important to seek the foreign workers’ response towards PPT which providing empirical evidence to the CIDB, trainer and employers’ management for future improvement. So, TAM has been used to study the factors which impact the foreign workers’ acceptance level towards PPT.The factors contained perceive usefulness (PU), perceive ease of use (PEOU), attitudes towards using (A) and behavioural intention to use (BI).Thereby to seek the foreign workers acceptance level towards PPT in SHIC, convenient sampling has been chosen in this study. The area covered in this study was Kedah and Perlis and it is limited to 64 foreign workers due to the constraint and limitation.The analyzed results reveal that the foreign workers perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use shows the moderate positive relationship towards the PPT.While, foreign workers attitude and behaviour intention to use shows low correlation with no significant impact towards the PPT.The finding suggests that PPT still useful to be used as a learning medium, but needs to be upgraded and improve regarding the content, text, video, language usage, functions, interfaces and others. As a future result for this improvement, it will lead to a better learning medium, encourages them to stay motivated and focus while increasing the construction performance and decreasing the accidents.
