Train the Trainer is a progressive program which will empower your employees to improve safety in the workplace by providing them with the education for practical application of neck/back protection. At the end of this program, the goal is the employee will have the tools to develop and implement a neck/back protection program at your place of employment. Through the use of classroom lecture and slides, demonstration, handouts and brainstorming, the trainer will be provided with information for immediate practical application within the workplace. Learning will be enhanced with repetition of information and "homework" to be completed weekly. Key components for implementing the program will include educating co-workers and developing a system to monitor the safety of co-workers during job tasks. Emphasis is placed on planning and implementation of an ongoing safety program, not just a one-time in-service. Emphasis is also placed on taking personal responsibility for your safety as well as working together as a team and watching out for the safety of one another.
