Developing Training Content What are some “reputable sources” for training content?

Reputable Sources for Training Content Developing Training Content PROFESSIONAL SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS CHEMICAL SAFETY BOARD REGULATORY AGENCIES ACCEPTED SCIENCE SAFETY & HEALTH JOURNALS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS MANUFACTURERS & MANUALS Engineers, Managers, Workers

Developing Training Content Once you have good information, how can you present it for most effective learning?

Instructional Design Developing Training Content

10 Tips from Instructional Designers Developing Training Content • Match Content to Learning Objective • Use Adult Learning Principles • Awaken Prior Knowledge • Watch the Time • Speak Their Language • Show and Tell – Use Visuals • Storytelling • Have Them Think About Their Learning • Testing: Practice Tests & Real Tests • Refresher Training

Match Content to Learning Objective 1 Developing Training Content Employees must correctly identify and explain the elements of a GHS-aligned chemical label on various chemical containers with no failures.

1 Match Content to Learning Objective: Example Developing Training Content

Adult Learning Principles 2 Developing Training Content – Self-directed – Have life experiences – Goal-oriented – Task-oriented – Want to learn within their own schedule – Learn when motivated – Want to feel respected

2 Adult Learning Principles Developing Training Content What’s an example of how you can appeal to adult learning principles in your own EHS training at work? (I’ll go back to previous slide…)

Awaken Prior Knowledge 3 Developing Training Content HAZ-COM

3 Awaken Prior Knowledge Developing Training Content What’s an example of “awakening prior knowledge” that could be used before a Haz-Com training session?

Watch the Time 4 Developing Training Content

4 Watch the Time Developing Training Content What’s the right amount of time for training?

Speak Their Language 5 Developing Training Content

5 Speak Their Language Developing Training Content “It is imperative to all individuals involved that the equipment be stopped and remain still while the work is being performed.”

5 Speak Their Language Developing Training Content “For everyone’s safety, when maintenance is done on the machine, the machine must be stopped and remain still the entire time.”

5 Speak Their Language Developing Training Content Watch out for: – Formal language – Long, complex sentences – Specialized terms – Jargon – Acronyms – Abbreviations – Stereotypes – Clichés – Potentially unfamiliar cultural references

5 Speak Their Language Developing Training Content Who here is responsible for training a multi-language workforce? Or workers who don’t speak English as a first language?

5 Speak Their Language Developing Training Content

Show and Tell – Use Visuals 6 Developing Training Content Language Images

6 Show and Tell – Use Visuals Developing Training Content What tools do you use to create visuals at work?

6 Show and Tell – Use Visuals Developing Training Content Tools for Visuals Flip Charts Photos Videos Clip Art SmartArt and White Boards

6 Show and Tell – Use Visuals Developing Training Content Tools for Visuals

Storytelling 7 Developing Training Content What did I learn?

7 Have Them Think about Their Learning Developing Training Content Who’s willing to share a story they tell in their own safety training?

Have Them Think about Their Learning 8 Developing Training Content What did I learn?

8 Have Them Think about Their Learning Developing Training Content How many of you have stopped to ask yourself how much you’ve learned, or what you’ve understood/don’t understand?

Testing 9 Developing Training Content

Bonus Tip: Research “Desirable Difficulties” ! Developing Training Content

1 2 3 4 5 TRAINING EVALUATION

Training Evaluation How do you know if EHS training was effective?

Four Levels of Evaluation Training Evaluation 1 Employee Reaction 2 Measurement of Learning 3 Observed on-the-Job Behaviors after Training 4 Effect on Business Goals

Employee Reaction 1 Training Evaluation Example : Surveys delivered to employees immediately after training.

Evaluation-Employee Reaction: Exercise Training Evaluation Write a “good” survey question to get employee reaction after training.

1 Employee Reaction Surveys: Some Tips Training Evaluation – Focus on how well the training prepared worker to apply/use information on job – Avoid questions about “liking” training – Provide clear and meaningful answer options to employees – Create questions and answer options that provide meaningful and actionable information to for evaluation/revision

Training Evaluation 1 Employee Reaction Examples: Are These Good or Bad? How much did you like True or False: This training this training? Rate on a prepared me well to work score of 1-5. safely in the field.

Training Evaluation 1 Employee Reaction Survey Questions: A Better Example How prepared are you to apply what you just learned during training? My Test Questions:  Not at all.  I have some awareness of the concepts taught, but will need more training to do this on the job.  I can do this on the job, but will need more training to be fully competent.  I am fully competent.
