title: The transfer of safety training in work organizations: a systems perspective to continuous learning.
abstract: The effectiveness of safety and health programs can be evaluated from a "transfer" perspective, which evaluates the effectiveness of training in individual programs, and from a "systems" perspective that contends that a safety training program cannot be isolated from the organizational system of which it is a part. This chapter explores the effectiveness of training from a systems perspective and includes recommendations for improving safety and health training.
