Develop a Scaffold Training Plan

2. Conduct the Training

Plan the training structure and format. Consider the number, frequency, and length of sessions. Determine instructional techniques and who will do the training.

Make sure the training is well-organized and has clearly defined objectives. Give workers an overview of what they'll learn. Relate training materials to tasks and jobs.

To make sure workers gain the necessary skills to work safely, OSHA expects you to include hands-on practice during the training. Reinforce learning by summarizing objectives and key concepts. Be sure to let workers participate in discussions and ask questions. Finally, administer written exams to best test individual knowledge of the topics being taught.
