Overview

Training can be effective and fun, but very few trainers are doing it this way. Most workers view attending a training session as they do going to the dentist, which leaves trainers feeling very unappreciated and frustrated. Using the participatory methods described in this book, trainers will learn the preparation of interesting topics, trainee-involving methods, respect for workers and a consideration of their needs.The book takes an instructor from ground zero through the process of planning, preparing, delivering and evaluating an adult training session of from one to one hundred participants. The primary focus for the instructor is for his or her trainees to achieve the basic goals of understanding and retention of the information, enjoyment of the course, and application of the learning to their work and their lives. Effective Safety and Health Training was written for anyone who wishes to train workers or other adults effectively, as well as for people who supervise trainers. The book has been used successfully with groups of union safety committee members, classes of managerial safety personnel, and industrial hygienists.
