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 step. The trainer has the student perform each step, giving permission before each step is performed.
This step is important to protect the student as he or she performs each step of the procedure. Remember, the student is not fully-qualified to perform the procedure, so if the procedure includes steps that could cause an injury, OSHA requires very close, direct supervision of the student while in training. It's best to simulate the steps 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 step, it helps make sure the student remains protected from getting hurt.
The student tells the trainer what he or she will do in the step, asks permission to continue, and then performs the step.
The trainer listens to the student's explanation of the step gives permission or stops the student as needed and observes the student complete the step.
