Safe On-The-Job Training (OJT)
Step 3: Learner Tells and Trainer Shows
Step 3 is the "safety" step that tests the learner's knowledge.
Step 3: The learner tells and the trainer shows.
This step is only necessary when exposure to hazards inherent in the procedure could cause injury, illness, or equipment damage. It protects the trainee because the trainer performs the procedure. It also tells the instructor if the learner knows how to perform the step. If the procedure is not hazardous in any way, you can skip to Step 4.
The learner should:
- The learner first explains the step to the trainer. If the explanation is correct, the trainer performs the step. This procedure allows the trainer to discover if the learner understands the step.
- If the learner directs the trainer to perform a step incorrectly, the trainer can stop, question the learner and review the step. The learner also responds to trainer questions.
