Looking for suggestions on best methods to deliver safety training in small bites, to small groups of people, focusing on one issue per session, ie. eye protection, lifting....Ever used "Safety Training in 7 Minutes"? Best media to deliver? Ipod, webinars, Powerpoint, etc?

Thanks.

I do not mean to be dismissive with this answer, but the reality is that what is "best" is to design and deliver whatever is most appropriate for your organization's needs. What is your analysis telling you?

This is pretty straight-forward. I don't see a need to analyze this to death. The need seems clear - people need to be able to do their jobs safely. My guess is that this training must be done per OSHA requirements or the fact that people are getting injured on the job, or both.

There is a very successful method to use with safety training - team-based structured OJT. The aviation industry has studied this more than any other industry. The research has been done, the results tested, and verified. Many other industries have copied what the aviation industry has done. The safety procedures have to be consistently embedded in absolutely everything - from training modules to SOPs. The safety procedures should not be a separate entity or trained separately - they must be integrated into the procedures for every task performed on the job and trained that way.

Not sure if this is clear or not. If not, send me a PM and I'll be happy to discuss.

Perhaps you've had bad experiences with analysis, Kal, but who said anything about analyzing something "to death"?

The point is, what is "best" is subjective and usually relates closely to the needs of a particular organization. There is no need for analysis to take long at all - could be a simple 15 minute discussion with a group supervisor. Could be reflecting on one's own knowledge and experience with an organization. The point is if one looks at the picture one is in, one should be able to determine what is "best" for one's organization.

As far as what typical safety training looks like, I would think that is widely available for a nominal fee, if not free on the internet from government web sites.

Doesn't this statement contradict the earlier statements you make? First, you say to do an analysis and do what is "best" for the particular organizaion - then you say the solution is probably free on the internet. Doesn't add up.
