On-The-Job Training (OJT) Process
Step 4 - The Learner Explains and Performs
This step is an optional precaution that may be used when exposure to hazards inherent in the procedure could cause an injury. The learner explains the step, gets permission to perform the step and then performs the step. This step is very important when training tasks that might result in serious physical injury or death if not performed correctly.
Step 5 - Conclusion: Recognize accomplishment
In this step the trainer basically says, "Good job!" and reemphasizes the importance of the procedure and how it fits into the overall process. The trainer will also tie the training again to accountability by discussing the natural and system consequences of performance.
Step 6 - Document
For safety training in which procedures are taught, the training documentation should be more than an attendance sheet. It's important that the trainer verifies in writing that the student has demonstrated adequate knowledge and skills to perform the procedure safely. Here is a sample training certification.
Step 7 - Validate
At some point in time after the conclusion of the OJT session, the learner's supervisor should observe and question the employee to validate that the training has been successful.
