Understand the Value – Why This Course Matters
As companies increasingly move toward in-house training to reduce costs, the demand for effective safety trainers has never been greater. But delivering engaging, high-impact occupational health and safety training takes more than technical knowledge.
This course equips participants with the tools, psychological techniques, and practical strategies needed to become confident, capable safety trainers. By integrating adult learning principles with public speaking and facilitation skills, participants learn how to influence behaviours, sustain attention, and motivate safe practices long after the training ends.
Whether delivering toolbox talks or leading onboarding for new hires, this course helps safety professionals train with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
This course is designed for safety professionals and practitioners who are responsible for delivering training, presentations, and workplace instruction as part of their role.
It is ideal for individuals who already have technical safety knowledge and want to improve their ability to plan, prepare, deliver, and facilitate effective safety training.
