Audience Analysis

  • Gathering detailed information from learners about their prior knowledge, attitudes, interests, and preferred learning methods

Training and Learning Curves

  • Training is done for the purpose of behavior change, increasing knowledge or improving performance, helping reduce incidents and increasing efficiency or reducing costs
  • Training should ensure that all possible training and non-training solutions are considered.
  • Learners usually learn more quickly with practice to master a skill and perform it efficiently

Learning Curve

  • A learning curve is usually exponential
  • The more practice, the more quickly skills are performed efficiently and with higher quality

Presentation Tools

  • Well-organized material is easier for the learner to retain and recall

Active Learning/Role playing

  • Active learning is more effective than passive teaching.

  • Group norms help maintain harmony to prevent interruptions and encourage respectful communication

Multidisciplinary Teamwork

  • Safety engineering is managed and structured within the context of business plans
  • Effective planning, allocation of resources, and performance measurement are part of safety engineering work
  • Life cycle framework, early integration, risk management, decision points, performance assessments, and continuous improvement

Conflict Resolution

  • Conflicts on a team are not unusual, can actually improve the team by fostering a better understanding and more teamwork
  • Various approaches to resolving conflicts (forcing, compromising, avoiding, accommodating, collaborating-problem solving)
  • No single solution guaranteed to be effective for all conflicts
  • Collaboration tends to be most successful when attempting to solve any conflicts
