Safety training differs from many forms of education because it requires more than just information. Data and facts about regulations, requirements and work procedures are important, but workers also need to be able to do the things they are required to do and believe that what they are doing is worth the effort.
Effective safety training should do more just than transfer information — it should change thinking and behavior. This requires more than simply putting facts in a handout or popping a videotape in the VCR.
