title: The evaluation of health and safety training.
abstract: A national survey of individuals responsible for health and safety training at the workplace was conducted by self-administered mailed questionnaires in 1982-83. This analysis examines the responses to the questions on evaluation. Descriptive data on the extent to which health and safety training programs are being evaluated, the types of evaluation that are done, and the technical approaches used are presented. Results suggest that the majority of current training programs are being evaluated in some way, but also that a substantial portion of these evaluations are not rigorous and do not validly assess the extent to which training is effective.
