Terrific question Monique.

 

Most suggest annual refresher training and this requirement is common to a large number of regulations. However, the same training presented in the same way gets pretty boring and perhaps not effective.

 

I suggest the standard of when things look like most have forgotten and otherwise annually. A clever way to do this is to have everyone take a pre-test (no names) and a post-test (no names). They self-score and turn in the tests. You will get a sense of how much stuck with them and how much the teaching impacted them.

 

Another alternative is to have mini-sessions monthly. Administratively somewhat difficult, but it can be effect.

 

Whatever the interval, make sure that you mix things up to make it interesting.

Hello Everyone,

 

I am looking to understand "best practices" for safety refresher training.  Does anyone have any idea how frequent refresher training should be, other than when someone is observed to not remember or understand something?

 

Thank you,

 Monique
