Answer-Manufacturers and suppliers can be valuable sources of safety information. They
know best how their products work and which product is best for a given hazard. For
example, glove manufacturers should be consulted when selecting gloves for particular
hazards. They can provide information on chemical and physical resistance of the gloves
and suggest alternative products that may be more cost effective for your application.
When you are purchasing a new piece of equipment, consulting the manufacturer in
advanced to determine potential safety risks of the process is essential. The manufacturer
will often be able to provide safety and training materials. Forklift manufacturers provide
training materials for their products and usually have personnel that can come on-site to
conduct the training. Consulting with manufacturers of safety equipment such as machine
guards can provide valuable information on the right solution for your machine guard
hazard. Although consulting manufacturers does not always yield a solution. it is an
Avenue that should be explored.

What are 4 basic learning Styles ? - Correct Answer-Although there are many theories
about learning styles in the educational field, one popular theory that can be applied to
safety training Classifies learning styles into four tyes ( acronym: VARK)
* Visual- this type of learner retains information best by seeing information presented
visually, such as reading if for themselves as opposed to Iistening to a presentation. They
can also benefit from information presented in Charts and graphs
* Auditory- This type of learner responds to hearing information, such as a lecture or oral
presentation
* Reading/ writting- This type of learner responds to reading, followed by note taking or re-
writting information. The Act of taking notes reinforces the concepts and helps the learner
to retain knowlege.
* Kinesthetic- A Kinesthetic learner learns best by doing an activity related to the
concepts. for example, this type of learner would respond to hands-on exercise of how to
dissassemble and reassemble a respirator as a way of learning how it works, rather than
viewing a powerpoint presentation on the topic.
The best types of Safety training Classes integrate aspects that will appeal to all of these
learning Styles, and reinforce concepts using multiple methods.
