Training and the JSA

The list of recommendations for performing the job safely form a set of goals for training sessions to be held

Problems to be resolved through training may be ranked in sequence based on: potential hazard liability productivity or greatest cost


3-13

Performance Objective

An objective is the desired outcome of a learning situation, stated in terms of observable behavior of the learner

The observable behavior is the exact performance that the learner is able to display as a result of a particular training process


3-14

Preparing Performance Objectives

Decide upon the goals to reach at the end of the program

Select procedures, content and methods that are relevant to the objective

Measure or evaluate the trainee’s performance according to the objectives or goals originally selected
