Training
Tips of the Week
Encourage a “learner-centered” approach
to training, and not an “information-centered” one. Adults (and of course adult learners) crave and
need direct involvement in their training – so involve
them. It is after all, their training. The more that they are
involved in
the training (rather than the information being stressed at the
expense of learner involvement), the better the training will
go. Involvement leads to participation leads to learning, and
that’s what we all want in our training. Of course, the
converse is also true. That is the more that the information
is stressed (at the expense of learner involvement), the less
effective the training will be. Remember, “No learning,
no point”.
Good training!
EHS
Tips of the Week
Develop written EHS programs that actually work
for you.
As is said in auditing, “Do what you say and
say what you do” and apply this principle to your written
programs. Don’t write programs that are going to sit on
a shelf or in a file gathering dust and that don’t accurately
reflect what your people do (or what they don’t do for
that matter). Draft written programs specific to your operations
and apply
the “KISS” principle (“Keep It Short and Simple”).
Involve workers from various departments and levels and do a “sanity
check” on it when drafted - meaning take it out to the operations
it covers and ensure that that is exactly what is actually done.
In the words of my Dad, “Use it in the best of health!” (and
safety).

Wellness
Tips of the Week
Keep
track of what you eat.
Keeping a daily food “log” of
what you eat can help identify eating habits and foods that you
want to control. It can also provide motivation to not eat things
(like snacks) if you know that you’ll have to write it
in your log.
There are many web sites
that allow you to input the foods (or choose from a list) and
it helps to calculate and track your total calorie (and sometimes
fat) intake. This can provide even greater incentives once you
see how much different foods and portions can add up.
