Training
for Safety Trainers
Most organizations recognize the importance of
providing quality safety training yet often end up assigning training
responsibilities to people who, while knowledgeable of job hazards,
lack training themselves in where to begin and how to develop materials
that effectively guide safe behavior.
This two day course covers the basics of what it takes to develop
meaningful safety training programs within your organization. Yet
this course goes beyond simple classroom lecture into workshop mode,
where participants will practice developing targeted course outlines
based on specific learning objectives, work with training matrices
for ensuring effective tracking of safety training delivery, and
practice stand-up delivery of course materials. Participants will
receive template materials they can take back on the job and begin
using immediately.
Topics include:
Assessing Need
Syllabus, Course Maps, Outlines and Lesson Plans
Learning Theories
Learning Styles
Stages of Learning
K-S-R-M Approach to Training Development
Reducing Presentation "PHEAR"
Effective Speaking Tips
Constructive Use of Questions in Training
Developing Training Matrices
Dealing with Difficult Trainees
OSHA Training Requirements
Returning Investment (ROI) on Safety Training
Evaluating Training
Participants who successfully pass an exam at the conclusion of
the course will receive a Certificate of Completion; others will
receive a Certificate of Attendance.
This course is offered two times per year at The University of Alabama
and can also be delivered at your location on a contract basis.

Overview
for New Safety Managers
You've landed the job, you're sitting at your desk with "safety
manager" on the door, and the boss has all of the faith in the world
that you will "catch on quick". Now what? Where do you start? How
do you implement a safety management program that meets all of the
OSHA requirements and get everyone in your facility to "buy into
it"? Who can you call for assistance? If you wear more than one
hat in the organization, where do you find enough time to dedicate
to safety and where should your priorities lie?
The answers to these questions and a lot more will be covered in
the one-day class created for new safety managers as well as the
seasoned ones who have been with it long enough to realize they
still don't have all the answers.
Following is a list of topics which will be included in the Overview
for New Safety Managers class offered December 5, 2007:
Defining the role of safety manager
Changing the mindset of your organization and making them more
"safety savvy"
Establishing goals, objectives and putting together a safety management
system
Reviewing the safety philosophies of successful companies. Will
they work for your organization?
Who is OSHA and how will they affect my business?
Minimum requirements vs. best practices, how far do I need to
go?
Safety committees - structure, duties and how to get the best
out of yours
What resources can I tap into and who can I contact? Websites,
references and invaluable contact information
Time management and prioritization
If time allows at the end of the day, there will be open discussion
for any other concerns or problems you may face as the new safety
manager. So, bring these along with you.
Effective Safety
Committees
This workshop discusses the principles and practices that form
the foundation for an effective safety committee. Experience-base
guidance is provided in applying the principle-based foundations
in the real world. Participants are coached to compare their current
safety committee's characteristics to the ideal and think creatively
about how to make key improvements in areas that they feel are most
important for their situation. The workshop should prepare the participant
to make wise choices whether starting a safety committee or revamping
an existing committee. The intent is that participants leave the
workshop with an action plan to implement their improvement choices.

whether a safety committee is always the right answer as well as
