Trainer Evaluation and Annual Review
Instructors should be required to maintain professional competency by participating in continuing education or professional development programs, or by successfully completing an annual refresher course and having an annual review by a training director or another competent manager.
The annual review should include observation of an instructor's delivery, a review of those observations with the trainer, and an analysis of any instructor or class evaluations completed by the students during the previous year.
Management Involvement
First-line supervisors and managers play a crucial role in safety and health protection because of their responsibility for workers and the work being performed. Effective training of supervisors and managers will address their safety and health management responsibilities as well as information on hazards, hazard prevention, and response to emergencies. Although they may have other safety and health responsibilities, supervisors and managers should be fully involved in training safety to send a strong personal leadership message.
Only if supervisors have adequate knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed to train safety requirements, can they effectively supervise for compliance with those safety requirements.
