Teaching and Training Methods
Published in Raymond J. Colvin, The Guidebook to Successful Safety Programming, 1992
An effective safety training effort begins with a written policy that expresses management approval, defines retraining requirements and instructor competency, and defines an auditing procedure. Many levels of employees are involved in an effective training effort, each with distinct, clearly defined responsibilities and training needs. Training program basics require that learning objectives be defined through a formal job hazards analysis, that the audience be identified, and that the methodologies appropriate to the contents and audiences are determined. Once these basics are established, a detailed plan for administering the training can be created and implemented. Testing and evaluation are critical components of any training effort, especially when training results will be used to demonstrate compliance. The training audit procedure reinforces management responsibilities and commitment, highlights the need for retraining in certain skills, and coincides with the results of hazard reviews.
Safety Management Systems
Published in John W. Overton, Eileen Frazer, Safety and Quality in Medical Transport Systems, 2019
Through ongoing training and education, both in the IRSMS and the safety behaviours and attitudes to enable people to complete their job or task, an organization is able to ensure that all members are competent and each contributes to the overall safety of the system. Effective safety training and education will proactively demonstrate management’s commitment to safety and the IRSMS, establish or maintain a safety culture, and demonstrate how to best use the safety tools provided by the organization. A formal system is then used to track and manage training, to not only to ensure compliance but also to enable future safety training commensurate with the role and responsibility of each individual in the organization.
Factors affecting employee safety productivity: an empirical study in an OHSAS 18001-certified organization
Published in International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2022
It is suggested for organizational managers aiming to increase employee safety productivity to focus particularly on employee safety behaviours, which are safety compliance and safety participation. Managers who want their employees to perform safety behaviours should place emphasis on safety training about safety motivation and safety knowledge, which are determinants of the employee safety behaviours. In other words, it should be taken into consideration by the managers that the employees’ safety behaviour will improve by providing safety knowledge, skills and motivation to the employees as an output of effective safety training.
