2. Goals
Help the student to improve their knowledge, skills
and ability to:
1. Prepare and safety training lesson plan.
2. Present a safety training class;
3. Evaluate training outcomes.

4. What is “education?”
• That which leads out of ignorance
• Anything that affects our knowledge, skills, and
attitudes
• The “why” in safety educates about the natural and
system consequences of behavior
• Primarily increases knowledge and attitudes
• A process through which learners gain new
understanding, acquire new skills, or change their
attitudes or behaviors.
4
5. What is “training?”
• One method of education
• The “how” in safety
• Primarily increases knowledge and skills
• A specialized form of education that focuses on
developing or improving skills - the focus on
performance.
What are the natural and system consequences?
What is the outcome when safety training does not
include effective education?

6. Step 1: ASSESS LEARNER
NEEDS
Determine learner needs
Needs assessments will identify gaps,
weaknesses, and limitations in trainees’ skills
and knowledge.
How do we become aware of safety training needs?

7. To get information about the audience:
• Observe workers doing work
• Interview and/or survey workers
• Review employee personnel records
• Determine demographics (age, gender, race)
• Determine experience level
• Determine learning styles
• Determine aptitudes, knowledge
• Determine attitudes toward subject being taught
7
8. To get information about the tasks
• Observe experts doing the task
• Interview experts about the task
• Review job descriptions, policy statements, reports
To get information about the content of process or
procedures
• Observe the expert of developers of the process or
procedure
• Interview experts, policy makers, mangers
• Review process plans, specifications, rules,
guidelines (make sure they are current)

9. Are training or non-training interventions the
solution to poor safety performance in the
workplace?

11. Step 2: SET
GOALS and OBJECTIVES
Goals are easy to write. They're nothing more
than wishes.
• Improve the hazard control program.
• Eat some really great food today.
• Lose some wait today.
Objectives take a little more thought. Well
written objectives should have the following
elements present:
• Starts with an action verb. (Decrease,
increase, improve, etc.)
• Specifies a single key result to be
accomplished.
• Is quantifiable. Uses numbers to measure a
desired change. (i.e., 50% increase)
• Specifies a target date for accomplishment.
11
12. Educational objective • Tells how the student will demonstrate knowledge.
“After training, the participant will be able to
correctly answer 80% of all test questions.”
Training objective • Tells how the student will demonstrate skill, ability.
“At the end of the class, the participant will be able
to correctly complete all steps of the lockout/tagout
procedure required for plant ventilation equipment.”
