Model Training Strategy
The "show and tell" model for on-the-job training has been, and still is, the best method for training specific safety procedures.
Measurement occurs throughout this process while keeping the employee safe from injury while learning. If this training method does not expose the employee to injury-causing hazards, it might be feasible to omit step 3. However, if there is any risk of exposure, all steps should be followed without omission.
Step 1- Introduction
The instructor tells the trainee about the training. The instructor emphasizes the importance of the procedure to the success of the production/service goals, encourages the trainee to ask questions, and highlights the importance of accountability.
Step 2- Trainer Shows and Tells
In this step, the student becomes familiar with safe work practices in each step and why they are important. The trainer not only explains and demonstrates each step but also addresses any questions from the learner. This process of demonstration and explanation is repeated until the learner fully comprehends what to do, when and why to do it, and how to perform each step safely and effectively.
- The trainer DESCRIBES each step in the task or procedure and then PERFORMS each step while the student watches.
- The student OBSERVES the trainer perform each step and QUESTIONS the trainer for clarification or further understanding.
