• Description:
  As our industry faces a new era in workforce development, a change in the way we conduct training - especially safety training - must be part of the employee and information retention strategy. And this isn't just about accommodating Millennials and Generation Z, although they are indeed the ones backfilling an aging workforce. According to the American Psychological Association, the needs of Millennials may not actually be generational at all. In fact, "today's students may simply be showing us the benefits of paying more attention to what's working and the importance of gathering student feedback on teaching methods. Regarding safety training, some OSHA requirements do exist; however, this means many instructors' priority is to meet OSHA requirements, which often results in repetition of typical topics and a classroom lecture format. Although research shows a correlation between the frequency of safety-related incidents and the amount of training provided, quality over quantity must be emphasized in order to ensure we are connecting with employees in the most valuable way. Teaching workers something new requires instructors to explore other topics as well as active or performance-based training methods. [Description provided by NIOSH]
