Conducting Classroom Training
The Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers' Compensation Workplace Safety has a seven-step classroom training development process that can be quite effective in conducting classroom training for oil and gas companies. Let's take a look at these seven steps.
Step #1 - Determine the Need for Training
The first step is to determine the need for training. It does not solve all problems. Sometimes the problem may be work procedures, equipment, or lack of employee motivation. Ask yourself:
"Does the employee have the skills or knowledge to perform the job?"
- If the answer is "yes", then safety training may not be required
- If the answer is "no", then safety training will be required.
Safety training should occur if an employee:
- is newly hired
- lacks the knowledge needed to perform safely
- lacks the skills to perform safety
- is exposed to hazardous new machinery or equipment
- is exposed to hazardous new procedures or tasks
- is subject to new safety guidelines, policies or rules
