    Study Notes

    Adult Learners Effective Training Techniques

    • Competency-based training is a common safety training method for adults. It focuses on what trainees should be able to do after training, how best to teach those skills, and how to measure success.
    • A "need assessment" is crucial before any training program. This involves identifying workplace problems and determining if training is the appropriate solution.
    • AIHA suggests a five-step process for identifying training needs:
      • Identify needs and performance gaps.
      • Clearly define the problem (Who, What, Why, When, How).
      • Determine the type of training needed.
      • Prioritize training needs (cost of training vs. cost of not training).
      • Present findings to management.
    • Learning objectives are important for effective training. They need to be clear, measurable, specific, and use action-oriented language.
    • Training techniques should support learning objectives. Consider methods, materials, and resources appropriate for the audience and skill level (group, one-on-one).
    • Learning Objectives should be clear, measurable and specific to learning goals. Use action-oriented language.

    Helping Adults Learn

    • Adults learn best through active, informal methods like doing, observing, reading, asking questions and by interacting with others.
    • Training techniques should actively engage adult learners and allow them to use their life experiences.
    • Instructor enthusiasm and organization are important aspects of effective training

    Review of Selected Concepts in Safety Training

    • Validity in safety training means accurately identifying hazards and required skills for each task (e.g. handling corrosive chemicals).
    • Learning curve suggests that learning improves with the duration of training.
    • Role-playing is a training technique where trainees act out scenarios (e.g., sales scenarios).
    • Meetings/Conferences are problem-solving training methods for groups.
    • Case studies focus on how others have addressed issues.
    • Learning domains: cognitive (mental skills), affective (emotions), and psychomotor (physical skills).
