Question 2

People learn little by doing, which is why safety and health trainers need not concern themselves with giving workers hands-on application as part of the training.

Accepted Answer

Hands-on application is an important part of training, especially in areas related to safety and health. It helps workers understand the practical aspects of their job and how to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained. Therefore, trainers should concern themselves with providing hands-on training to workers.

Question 3

The rationale for safety and health training is that workers who know how to do their jobs properly are less likely to have accidents.

Accepted Answer

Safety and health training is intended to help workers understand the risks associated with their job and how to manage them "safely." When workers are aware of the hazards they may encounter, they are more likely to work carefully and make wise decisions to minimize risks, and thus the chances of having an accident are reduced.

Question 5

Which of the following is NOT a step in the job safety analysis process?&#10;A)Identifying potential hazards for each step&#10;B)Breaking a job down into chronological steps&#10;C)Applying evaluation methodologies&#10;D)Developing procedures to eliminate or reduce potential hazards

Accepted Answer

The job safety analysis process typically involves breaking down a job into chronological steps, identifying potential hazards associated with each step, and developing procedures to eliminate or reduce those hazards. However, applying evaluation methodologies is not a specific step in the process.

Question 6

The four-step teaching method consists of the following steps: preparation, presentation, application, and evaluation.

Accepted Answer

The statement is true. The four-step teaching method consists of preparation, presentation, application, and evaluation.

Question 7

In evaluating training, it is important to know if the training was valid.

Accepted Answer

It is important to know if training was valid in order to determine if it was effective in achieving its intended goals and improving performance. Validity refers to the degree to which a test or assessment accurately measures what it is intended to measure. In the case of training evaluation, validity refers to the degree to which the training program accurately measured the desired knowledge, skills, or behaviors that were targeted for improvement.

Question 8

When illiteracy is a problem in the workforce, organizations should use which of the following methods?&#10;A)Partner with educational institutions to provide literacy training for workers&#10;B)Layoff those with low literacy levels and hire replacements with higher levels of literacy&#10;C)Broaden the boundaries of the search area when advertising for workers&#10;D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

Partnering with educational institutions to provide literacy training for workers is the most effective and ethical approach to address illiteracy in the workforce. It not only helps to improve the skills and productivity of existing workers, but it also provides an opportunity for those with low literacy levels to develop essential skills and advance their careers within the organization. Simply laying off workers or broadening the search area may not necessarily address the root cause of the problem and can be discriminatory.

Question 9

OSHA does not concern itself with training but leaves that issue strictly up to individual organizations.

Accepted Answer

This statement is false. OSHA requires employers to provide training to employees on the hazards of the workplace and how to protect themselves from such hazards. OSHA has standards and regulations that specify the minimum training requirements for different types of hazards and industries.

Question 10

Anybody can provide safety and health training as long as they know the regulations.

Accepted Answer

Providing safety and health training requires specialized knowledge and expertise, and is best done by professionals such as certified trainers, educators, or industry experts. Simply knowing the regulations is not sufficient to provide effective training that meets the needs of the audience or addresses potential hazards in the workplace.
