New Hands-On Safety Training TIP Published

TAPPI’s PIMA Division recently published TIP 1502-01: Improving Safety Training – A Hands-On Approach, its first safety-related Technical Information Paper (TIP).

As the industry has transitioned toward virtual classroom or online training methods, there are many aspects of operations that require hands-on safety training to be truly effective, including Serious Incident and Fatality (SIF) occurrences. Some companies have determined that certain SIF activities must be trained utilizing a hands-on approach. This guideline illustrates the impact and value of hands-on safety training with actual industry safety results and provides best practice examples. 

  • Helps you organize and provide information supporting the need for hands-on safety training
  • Provides multiple best practice examples of effective hands on-safety training 
  • Presents audit and verification tools to ensure skills and understanding are mastered

The guideline is available for purchase as a stand-alone, and is included in the Company and Individual Licenses. In anticipation of the PIMA Division’s efforts to produce more TIPs, the Standards group has assigned the division a new Subject Category number, 1500.
