Introduction

This insight examines common mistakes made in the development of occupational safety training materials and provides strategies to avoid them.

Mistake 1: Lack of Clear Objectives

Without clear objectives, training materials can lack focus. Avoid this by establishing clear objectives at the start of the development process.

Mistake 2: Ignoring the Needs of the Learners

Ignoring the needs of the learners can result in materials that are irrelevant or difficult to understand. Avoid this by understanding your audience and tailoring your content to their needs.
