Want to know the hidden secret to developing effective safety training materials?

Actually, there’s no hidden secret. But there ARE some well-known, tried-and-true methods, and they’re documented in ANSI Z490.1, the national standard of Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environmental Training.

In this 30-minute, recorded, on-demand webinar, we introduce you to ANSI Z490.1, and focus on four aspects of developing effective EHS training that Z490.1 calls out:

• Writing learning objectives that pass the ABCD and SMART tests
• Using a blended learning solution for safety training and selecting training delivery methods based on the need for “adequate feedback”
• Tips for developing effective safety training, including using credible information sources and following some best practices of instructional design
• Evaluating safety training using Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation method

You can listen to our free, recorded webinar on Effective Safety Training at our Webinars page.

And we’ve got a LOT more information for you about safety training if you keep on reading below.

Hope you enjoyed that webinar. As promised, we’ve got more for you below.
