The 7-Step OJT Process
Step 4: Student Tells, Asks, and Shows
This is the first step in which the student actually performs the procedure or practice.
To ensure safety, the student must first receive permission from the trainer to perform the task. The trainer has the student perform each task, giving permission before each task is performed.
This step is important to protect the student as he or she performs each task in the procedure. Remember, the student is not yet fully qualified to perform the procedure, so if the procedure includes tasks that could cause an injury, OSHA requires very close, direct supervision of the student while in training. It's best to simulate the tasks of a hazardous procedure in a classroom or other location where no actual hazards are present.
When the student explains what he or she is going to do, gets permission, and only then continues with the task, it helps make sure the student remains protected from getting hurt.
The student tells the trainer what he or she will do in the task, asks permission to continue, and then performs the task.
The trainer listens to the student's explanation of the task and and either gives permission to continue or stops the student as needed and then closely observes the student complete the task.
