DETERMINING IF TRAINING IS NEEDED  The first step in the training process is to determine if a problem can be solved by training.  Whenever employees are not performing their jobs properly, it is often assumed that training will bring them up to standard.

 However, it is possible that other actions (such as hazard abatement or the implementation of engineering controls) would enable employees to perform their jobs properly. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

36

DETERMINING IF TRAINING IS NEEDED Problems that can be addressed effectively by training include:  those that arise from lack of knowledge of a work process;  unfamiliarity with equipment/machine; or

 incorrect execution of a task.

5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

37

DETERMINING IF TRAINING IS NEEDED Training is less effective (but still can be used) for problems arising from:  an employee's lack of motivation; or

 lack of attention to the job. Whatever its purpose, training is most effective when designed in relation to the goals of the employer's total safety and health program.

IDENTIFYING TRAINING NEEDS HOW TRAINING NEEDS ARISE There are a number of indicators that may generate a training need. If any of these are likely to effect the department in the future or have in the near past, one or more employees may need training. Potential Indicators •New employees

Internal Indicators •Employee complaints

External Influences •New legislation

•Promotions or transfers

•Incident/accidents

•New procedures

•Grievances or discipline

•Changes to legislation

•New equipment

TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS CASE STUDY-ABC COMPANY The situation: The DOLE RO has just completed a comprehensive on-site consultation and recommended to the owner of ABC COMPANY that effective training be developed and conducted for:  Hazard Communication Program. When asked, employees demonstrated a lack of knowledge regarding: (1) spill/emergency procedures, and (2) container labeling requirements for the chemicals they were using.

 Lock-out/tag-out. Maintenance workers were not familiar with the written lock-out/tag-out procedures for mechanical power presses.  Personal protective equipment. Workers were discovered: (1) wearing defective respirators, and (2) improperly storing respirators.

 Emergency action and fire prevention plans. No training has been developed or conducted in: (1) emergency evacuation, or (2) use of fire extinguishers.  Safety committee. No hazard identification training has been conducted.  Accident investigation. Supervisors have not received training in effective incident/accident investigation procedures. Currently no such training exists! The owner has now come to you, of course, and given you the responsibility for developing and conducting safety training at ABC COMPANY. The owner has agreed to allow you to include a few other employees in this effort. 5MCSS

DEVELOPING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Setting Goals and Objectives-it is designed to be delivered by an individual who has knowledge of the basics of setting goals and objectives and of the employer's own policies and practices on goals and objectives setting, tactical and strategic planning, and performance management.

Training Goal is a general statement about what you want to train. For instance, a training goal might state, "Train our new employees on hazard reporting procedures” or “Familiarize our employees on emergency procedures”. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

52

DEVELOPING OBJECTIVES Training Objectives:  Formal description of what trainee should be able to do after training.  Objectives  Convey training goals  Provide a framework to develop course content  Provide a basis for assessing training achievement  Characteristics of effective objectives  Statement of desired capability or behavior  Specify conditions under which behavior will be performed  State the criterion of acceptable performance 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

54

DETERMINING OF TRAINING CONTENT The content is everything the learner will have to learn in order to achieve a learning objective.  Selecting content for a training program is a decisionmaking process. The trainer must decide what and how much about a particular area of study they want trainees to learn. In essence, content is the subject matter of the lesson.  If the objective is to teach someone to safely drive a forklift, then the course content may be learning to start, load, accelerate, shift, steer, stop, and inspect the forklift. It is the step-by-step process of what the trainee must learn if the objective is to be attained. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

55

DETERMINING OF TRAINING CONTENT Two important criteria for deciding on content are usefulness and appropriateness in relation to the stated objectives. •It must be useful-the content should be important to the employee. The content should be perceived as relevant, useful to the employee. •It must be appropriate-ideally, each particular topic within the training session should directly support one or more objectives. If it does not, then that part of the content may be perceived as inappropriate, unclear or not well thought out. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

List the sequence of training topics to be discussed; and  Group 1-Emergency Preparedness Training  Group 2-Chemical Safety and Spill Response  Group 3-Confined Space Entry Training  Group 4-Eathquake Safety

 Select your best presenter and discuss your report. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

59

DEVELOPING LEARNING ACTIVITIES A few factors will help to determine the type of learning activity to be incorporated into the training.  One aspect is the training resources available to the employer. Can a group training program that uses an outside trainer and film be organized, or should the employer personally train the employees on a one-to-one basis?  Another factor is the kind of skills or knowledge to be learned. Is the learning oriented toward physical skills (such as the use of special tools) or toward mental processes and attitudes? Such factors will influence the type of learning activity designed by employers. The training activity can be group-oriented, with lectures, role play, and demonstrations or designed for the individuals with self-paced instruction. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

60

DEVELOPING LEARNING ACTIVITIES It's important to consider appropriate training methods because:  They provide an effective means for the trainee to learn specific information.  They keep the trainee interested and involved in the learning process.

LEVEL 3 EVALUATION: EVALUATES THE APPLICATION

This level of evaluation measures both the learner and immediate safety culture. It gauges how well the learner applied the training. Evaluation at this level may also indicate the degree to which the safety culture supports the training.

 Did the training lead to improved on-the-job performance by the participants?  This level of evaluation is a good business policy to help make sure training is effective. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

106

LEVEL 3 EVALUATION: EVALUATES THE APPLICATION  Culture. For training to be truly effective, the safety culture must support the training. A supportive safety culture is most immediately demonstrated by the learner's immediate supervisor. According to Donald Kirkpatrick, there are five supervisor behaviors that affect learner attitudes about safety training:

 Preventing-The supervisor does not allow the worker to use the procedures or practices that have been taught.  Discouraging-The supervisor does not encourage behavioral change. They send implicit messages that they want behavior to remain the same. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

107

LEVEL 3 EVALUATION: EVALUATES THE APPLICATION  Neutral-The supervisor does not acknowledge the training received. There is no objection to behavioral change as long as the job gets done on time.  Encouraging-The supervisor acknowledges the training and encourages the worker to use what they learned.  Requiring-The supervisor knows what training was received and insists that the learning is transferred to the job. This response is the most supportive and will be necessary most of the time for effective safety training. 5MCSS

LEVEL 4 EVALUATION: EVALUATE HOW TRAINING HAS IMPACTED BUSINESS RESULTS Determining how the organization has improved: the final results which have come about because of the training program. Safety improves process quality. Evaluate how the training has impacted the quality (efficiency, effectiveness) of a job.

 In Total Quality Management (TQM) circles, "safety" is considered the absence of variation in a process. When safety is effective, a procedure is accomplished the same way every time. Consequently, fewer accidents should result.  Has this form of variation decreased? This level of evaluation is necessary to more thoroughly demonstrate the effectiveness of training. 5MCSS

CONDUCTING THE TRAINING Upon completion of your lesson plan, you are now ready to begin conducting the training. To the extent possible, the training must be presented so that its organization and meaning are clear to the employees.

Motivating Learners In-order to be motivated to pay attention and learn, participants must be convinced of the importance and relevance of the material on their respective field. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

115

ADULT LEARNING PRINCIPLES  Application in the real world is important and relevant to the adult learner's personal and professional needs. According to previous experience, adults will commit to learning when the goals and objectives are considered realistic and important to them.  Adults like to drive their learning and will resist activities they believe question their competence. Therefore, good professional development gives participants some control over the what, who, how, why, when, and where of their learning.  Adult learners need to see the connections and relevancy of the professional development to their day-to-day activities. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

116

   

ADULT LEARNING PRINCIPLES Adult learners are practical - they need direct, concrete experiences in which they apply the learning in real work. Adult learning impacts ego and therefore requires respect. Good professional development provides peer support and reduces the fear of judgment during learning. Adults need feedback on the results of their efforts. Opportunities should be built into professional development activities that allow the learner to practice the learning and receive structured, timely, helpful feedback. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

117

ADULT LEARNING PRINCIPLES  Adults need to participate in small-group activities during the learning to move beyond understanding to application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Small-group activities provide an opportunity to share, reflect, and generalize learning experiences.  Adult learners have a wide range of experiences, knowledge, self-direction, interests, and competencies. Learning activities should accommodate and respect this diversity.  Transfer of knowledge for adults is not automatic and must be facilitated. Coaching and other kinds of follow-up support help adult learners transfer learning into daily practice to ensure sustainability. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

118

WHY DO ADULTS LEARN?  To gain knowledge or skill they need.  To better manage changes in their lives.  To keep up with changes in their environment.  To increase or maintain a sense of self-esteem.  To become an achiever.

5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

119

WHAT MOTIVATES ADULT LEARNERS? Adults obviously differ from children in their motivations for learning. Dr. Stephen Lieb in Principles of Adult Learning discusses the following factors of motivation for adults:  Desire to maintain social relationships  Need to meet external expectations - the supervisor recommends you upgrade skills  Desire to learn how to better serve others  Professional advancement  Escape or stimulation  Cognitive or personal interest

5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

120

CHILD AND ADULT LEARNING Children:  Are told what is important to learn and accept this.  Accept the information being presented at face value.  Expect that what they are learning will be useful in their longterm future.  Have little ability to serve as a knowledgeable resource to the teacher or the rest of the class. 5MCSS

Adults:  Decide for themselves what is important to learn.  Take in information based on their own experiences.  Expect that what they are learning will be useful immediately.  Have experiences and skills to share with the facilitator and the other participants.

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

121

MALCOLM KNOWLES LEARNING THEORY  Adults want to know why they should learn.  Adults come to trainings with a wealth of knowledge.  Adults want to learn things that effect their daily lives.  Adults are willing to learn things that will help them solve problems.

5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

122

MALCOLM KNOWLES  Andragogy is a theory developed by Knowles (1913-97) which differentiates the needs of adult learners from those of juveniles and uses the term andragogy to describe the specific methods which should be employed in the education of adults. The adult learner moves towards independence and is self-directing.  Pedagogy is the discipline that deals with the theory and practice of education; it thus concerns the study and practice of how best to teach. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

123

ANDROGOGY VS. PEDAGOGY • Androgogy

Pedagogy • Formal • Learners are dependent and directed by teacher • Evaluation is external (teachers, tests) • Learners extrinsically motivated (grades) • Learners inexperienced • Value learning that is put upon them • Learning centers on a particular subject

5MCSS

• Informal and cooperative • Learners are independent and self-directed • Evaluation through selfassessment • Learners intrinsically motivated • Learners have own rich experience, used as a resource • Value learning that is relevant to every day life • Learning centers on a particular problem

138

POSTURE AND BODY ORIENTATION  You communicate numerous messages by the way you walk, talk, stand and sit.  Standing erect, but not rigid, and leaning slightly forward communicates to students that you are approachable, receptive and friendly.  Furthermore, interpersonal closeness results when you and your students face each other.  Speaking with your back turned or looking at the floor or ceiling should be avoided; it communicates disinterest to your class. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

139

PROXIMITY  Cultural norms dictate a comfortable distance for interaction with audience.  You should look for signals of discomfort caused by invading young listeners‘ space.  Some of these are:  Rocking  Leg swinging  Tapping  Gaze aversion  To counteract this, move around to increase interaction with your listeners. Increasing proximity enables you to make better eye contact and increases the opportunities for listeners to speak. 5MCSS

ASKING SKILL The two basic types of questions (trainer use during a presentation)  Open questions require more than a "yes" or "no" answer. Stimulates thinking, discussion. Usually begins with a "what," "how,“ when, "why“; and  Closed questions only a one word "yes" or "no" answer. Closes off discussion. Usually begins with "is," "can," "how many," "does." 5MCSS

Description

Example

 Requires more than a “yes”, “no”, or one-word answer.  Stimulates thinking.  Invites discussion.  Usually begins with words like “what”, “how”, “when”, “why”.

“What ideas do you have for explaining why this person may have been discriminated against?”

 Only requires a one-word answer.  Closes off opportunities for discussion.  Usually begins with words like “is”, “can”, “how many”, “does”.

“Does everyone understand the reasons that we have discussed?”

161

ASKING SKILL Guidelines for Phrasing Questions

Do

Don’t

Ask clear, concise questions that cover a single issue. Ask reasonable questions based on what the participants can be expected to know at this point in the training session. Ask challenging questions that require thought. Ask appropriate, relevant questions that direct the participants to logical answers. 5MCSS

Ask rambling, ambiguous questions that cover multiple issues. Ask questions that are too difficult for the majority of participants to answer.

Ask questions that are too easy or that provide no opportunity for thought. Ask “trick” questions that are designed to fool or trap the participants.

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

162

ASKING SKILL Choosing How To Direct Questions Then…

If You Want To…

Stimulate all of your participants to think … Direct the question to the group. Allow participants to voluntarily respond …

Avoid putting an individual participant on the spot …

EXAMPLE: “What experiences have you had related to this issue?”

Stimulate only 1 participant to think and Direct the question to a specific respond … individual. Tap the known resources of an “expert” in the audience …

5MCSS

EXAMPLE: “Mary, you indicated that you have had a lot of experience in filing fair housing complaints for individuals with disabilities. How would you proceed in this case?”

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

163

ASKING SKILL If The Participant’s Response Is: Correct

Incorrect

Partially Correct

Use positive reinforcement.

Acknowledge the effort.

Reinforce the correct portion of the response THEN, Redirect the question either to the same participant, to another participant, or answer it yourself.

EXAMPLES: “Yes.”

EXAMPLES:  “I can see how you might come up with that answer. Let’s see if anyone else can come up with a different answer.”  “That’s not exactly what I was looking for period. Perhaps I should have phrased the question differently. What I was looking for was ________.”

EXAMPLES: “You are on the right track. What other ideas do you have?”

“Good point.”

“That’s right.” 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

“That’s close, Joe. Who else wants to take a stab at this question?”

164

LISTENING SKILL  Listen carefully to your audience’s questions and comments first before thinking of your response;

 Welcome difficult questions (get ready ahead to answer them!);  To build rapport, say, "that’s a good question." Or, “I am glad you asked that“; and  Make direct eye contact with the person. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

165

LISTENING SKILL  Focus on the person when they are asking the question;  Move towards the person;

 Repeat the question so the rest of the audience can hear it; and  Rephrase the question if you are not clear what is being asked.

5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

166

ANSWERING SKILL  Respond initially to the person who asked the question;  Then shift your eye contact to the broad audience;  Answer the question clearly and briefly;  Hold your ground and do not back down with hostile questions;  If you do not know the answer, say so;

 Conclude by transitioning attention back to the person who asked the question; and  If appropriate, ask, "did I answer the question for you?" or "does that help?“. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

167

ANSWERING SKILL Choose the Following Response: Provide the yourself.

When…

answer You are reasonably sure that you are the only person who can and/or should provide the answer.

Redirect the question There is a high probability that the person will be able to come up back to the same with the correct answer. participant or to another participant. Defer the question.

The question does not fit within the purpose of the session and/or the session’s objective(s). The question is beyond the intent or scope of the training session. The question cannot be handled in the session’s allotted timeframe. The answer will be provided by material covered later in the training session. You need time to get the correct answer and get back to the participant.

HANDLING PROBLEM SITUATIONS They may be rare, but problem situations, in which learning is inhibited due to the behavior of one or more of the learners, may occur. Problem situations have something to do with the level of participation of individual learners: when learners participate too much or too little.  Too much participation. Learners may not be able to fully participate in group or class activities when an individual learner is too vocal. Overly vocal learners may be merely the result of an enthusiastic interest in the course material.  Too little participation. When one participant is too vocal, others may not feel comfortable participating, and remain silent. Their valuable input may be lost from the group. In addition, the trainer may not be able to accurately assess the degree of learning that's taking place when learners are silent. On the other hand, silent learners may just be nervous about expressing themselves in front of others. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

169

HANDLING PROBLEM SITUATIONS Problem situations may occur when learner behavior is perceived by the trainer as inappropriate. Hostility. A learner may express hostility towards the trainer, the company, or another learner. Don’t assume that such behavior on the part of learners is a reflection of their hostility toward you or your training. What to do? When the learner appears to be overactive or inhibited in some way, there are three important strategies to consider: • Eliminate or reduce the problem behavior. Resolve the problem to the extent necessary.

• Maintain the self-esteem of the learner causing the disruption. • Avoid further disruptions. Make sure the learning environment is relaxed and conducive to TRAIN learning. 5MCSS THE TRAINER REV0 170

HANDLING PROBLEM SITUATIONS Important strategies for handling problem situations

 Remain emotionally neutral.  Identify possible strategies you or other trainers have used before in the a similar situation.  Evaluate alternative strategies against the considerations above.  Select the strategy that best satisfies the criteria for the situation.

2. Protect the self-esteem of the participant

2. The problem is addressed in such a way that the self-esteem of the participant(s) exhibiting the problem behavior(s) is not compromised.

3. Avoid further disruptions to the 3. An environment that is relaxed, learning process comfortable, and conducive to learning is preserved. 5MCSS

172

HANDLING PROBLEM SITUATIONS Identifying Strategies for Handling Problem Situations:

1) Bringing in members of the audience who have been non-participatory or who have demonstrated extensive knowledge of and/or experience in the topic under discussion; and/or 2) Shutting out members of the audience who have been too verbal or have monopolized the discussions. This is often combined with the process of bringing in other participants to the discussion. 5MCSS

ICE BREAKERS 

Adult learners appreciate an open and comfortable learning environment.



Motivate participants at the beginning of a training session by introducing a fun exercise that requires them to interact.



Do not spend too much time on icebreakers! (recommended time about 10 minutes) 5MCSS

EVALUATING THE TRAINING PROGRAM

To make sure that the training program is accomplishing its goals, an evaluation of the training program can be valuable. Safety training should have, as one of its critical components, a method of measuring the effectiveness of the training, itself, and those presenting the training. ANSI Guidelines for evaluating training programs. ANSI Z490.1-2001, Accepted Practices in Safety Health and Environmental Training, recommends evaluating three important elements of a safety training program. 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

205

EVALUATING THE TRAINING PROGRAM Training program management. Training works best when it's designed and implemented as an integrated system rather than a series of unrelated training sessions. Elements that should be evaluated include:  Responsibility, Authority, and Accountability  Facilities and equipment  Program Development  Course Delivery  Program Evaluation  Documentation and records 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

206

EVALUATING THE TRAINING PROGRAM Training process. Training should be conducted using a systematic process that includes a needs assessment, objectives, course materials, lesson plans, evaluation strategies, and criteria for successful completion. Areas of emphasis should include:  Training goals  Learning environment  Adequacy of learning objectives  Effectiveness of the training process 5MCSS

TRAIN THE TRAINER REV0

207

EVALUATING THE TRAINING PROGRAM Training results. By evaluating the results of training, it's possible to make improvements to existing plans and gain awareness of the need for new training. Items that should be evaluated include:  The training action-plan  Long-term strategic planning  Needs assessment  Prioritizing training  Adequate support and funding 5MCSS

IMPROVING THE TRAINING PROGRAM There's always room for improvement in any training program. If it isn't the program itself, it's the culture that supports the training that may need improvement. Ultimately, improving training is all about change management. Effective change management is crucial to long term success. We'll take a look at one proven change model that can be applied to safety training. PLAN The Deming Cycle
