When designing your training program on safety procedures, you should consider the objectives and outcomes, content and format, audience and context, and resources and support. Specifically, what do you want your staff to learn, know, or do as a result of your training? How will you present and deliver the topics in a clear, engaging, and relevant way? Who are your staff and what are their needs, preferences, and expectations? What resources, materials, or equipment do you need to conduct your training? Who will be involved in your training? How will you measure and evaluate their learning and improvement? How will you tailor your training to suit their level of experience?
