title: The application of educational technology to occupational safety and health training.
abstract: For years, lectures and films have formed the basis of health and safety training. New communication systems, however, allow trainees such luxuries as receiving instruction from a source that might be hundreds of miles away. Various multimedia systems are described, including CD-ROM, virtual reality, and others that may some day become the mainstays of worker training.
