Conducting Occupational Safety and Health Training
The Conducting Occupational Safety and Health Training course equips professionals with the skills to effectively deliver safety training programs. It covers instructional techniques, hazard identification, and compliance with safety standards, ensuring trainers can educate workers on maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.

What is the Conducting Occupational Safety and Health Training?
The Conducting Occupational Safety and Health Training course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals develops the practical delivery skills for safety professionals who conduct training in the workplace. While the Fundamentals of Adult Learning and Instructional Design course teaches the theory and design methodology, and the Train the Trainer programme develops comprehensive trainer competency, this course focuses specifically on the act of conducting training: standing in front of workers and delivering safety content that engages, informs, and changes behaviour. This is the delivery-focused companion for safety professionals who already have content knowledge and need to develop their ability to communicate it effectively.
The curriculum covers training delivery methods (classroom instruction, hands-on demonstration, on-the-job training, toolbox talks, e-learning facilitation), classroom management (room setup, time management, pacing, energy management), presentation techniques (opening strong, structuring content for retention, using visual aids, storytelling for safety, closing with action), learner engagement strategies (questions, discussions, activities, real-world examples, problem-solving exercises), hands-on demonstration methodology (explain-demonstrate-practice-verify), toolbox talk delivery (brief, relevant, engaging, action-oriented), managing diverse learners (language barriers, literacy levels, experience differences, resistant learners), competency assessment during training (observation, questioning, practical demonstration), training documentation, and the continuous improvement of delivery skills through self-reflection and feedback.
All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals Learning Management System (LMS).
Who should take this course?
- Safety officers who deliver training to workers
