effective. Right Ans - We selected answer D because:
Safety training is a crucial part of a comprehensive safety program. There are
many topics that regulations require training to be accomplished prior to job
assignment. Industry has recognized that ongoing training provided for short
periods of time (less than an hour), covering single topics is a very effective
method to training workers. The key to safety training is to provide workers
with information to prevent accidents and injuries.
