Purpose of OJT
The purpose of OJT is to provide the employee with task-specific knowledge and skills in his or her job/work area.
The knowledge and skills presented during on-the-job training are directly related to those they will perform on the job.
OJT can be one of the best training methods because it is planned, organized, and can be conducted at the employee's workstation. OJT is generally the most common method used to broaden employee skills and increase productivity. It is particularly appropriate for developing skills unique to an employee's job. And, since most safety training requires hands-on practice and demonstration, OJT is a great way to make sure you meet OSHA expectations.
Preparation
To prepare to conduct an OJT session, the first step is to develop your lesson plan. If you already have a written Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) or Job Safety Analysis (JSA) completed for the job being trained, it makes good sense to use it as your lesson plan. For more information on developing JHA's please see course 706 Conducting a Job Hazard Analysis.
