Safe On-The-Job Training (OJT)
Step 4: Learner Tells and Shows
This is the second "safety" step to protect the learner.
Step 4: The learner tells and shows.
If the procedure is hazardous, the learner must get permission from the trainer before performing each step. Getting permission is necessary to prevent injury, illness, or equipment damage if the learner does not know how to do it safely. If the learner accurately describes the intended action to the trainer, they are allowed to continue.
The trainer and the learner should:
- The trainer directs the learner to perform the steps in the procedure.
- The learner explains each step, gets permission to perform the step and then performs it.
- The learner may also try to perform the task too quickly, before the trainer has time to prevent the action, increasing the probability of an injury.
- If the learner does a good job of explaining and performing each step in the procedure, the trainer can be sure the learner has adequate knowledge and skills to be initially qualified to perform the procedure on the job.
