Study Notes

Safety Training Program Development

  • The first step in developing a safety training program is defining objectives.
  • Identifying employees needing training is a crucial initial step.
  • Training program "validity" focuses on covering all legal requirements and risk-reducing areas relevant to the task.
  • Validity also ensures that the components of the program are technically and legally correct.
  • A learning curve's proficiency is directly proportional to the time spent learning, but up to a limit.

Role-Playing Training

  • Role-playing is an effective technique for problem-solving and identifying solutions to specific issues.
  • Participants actively engage in scenarios, which aids in identifying, evaluating, and improving personnel issues.

Meeting/Conference Training

  • Effective meetings involve limiting the number of attendees to allow for better discussions and idea exchange.
  • Effective meeting or conference training involves recording ideas and creating summaries for all participants.
  • Effective discussions are facilitated when each member shares their knowledge.

Motivation in Training

  • Promotion is not the highest motivating factor in training.
  • Achievement is often the highest motivation factor in training.
  • Company policies or work environments are not the highest motivating factor in training programs.
  • Work environment is not the highest motivating factor in training programs.

Cost-Benefit Analysis in Training

  • Training program costs should be significantly outweighed by their benefits.
  • Accurate estimations of training costs are important.
  • Lowering accident-related indirect costs is a considerable benefit of training programs.

Performance-Based Training

  • Performance-based training primarily focuses on solving specific job-related issues.

Case Studies in Training

  • Case studies are effective training methods, illustrating how people and organizations address specific situations.
  • Case studies are beneficial for illustrating problem-solving techniques.
  • Case studies can be used to avoid generalizing and directly apply principles from real situations.

Computer-Based Training (LANs)

  • A Local Area Network (LAN) is used to deliver training to many workstations.

Learning Domains

  • Three main categories of learning include cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
  • Interactive learning is not one of the three primary learning domains.

Safety Training Motivation

  • Motivated trainees are key to effective safety training.

Training Materials & Presentation

  • Training materials should be presented in a way that promotes learning and changes in perspective.
  • Instructor and material design are both key to successful training.
  • Trainer's knowledge of the trainees and trainees' background must be assessed for appropriate teaching strategies.

Needs Assessment in Training

  • Needs assessments are fundamental for establishing the need for training programs.
  • Questionnaires are a useful tool for needs assessment, given their ability to collect data from large groups of people.
  • Low response rates to questionnaires are a potential disadvantage.
  • The data collected through questionnaires can usually be analyzed/summarized quickly.
