Yes, but only
for the short term. In terms of behavior
based safety, training is an antecedent...or an event that comes before a
behavior and sets the stage for the performance to be done well. While training is essential in building any
effective safety culture, it will not alone change someone into performing safely
on an ongoing basis.
To make
safety training as effective as it can be you need to add the other integral
pieces of the behavioral model. You must
measure the performance letting your employee know what and how they are doing,
give them their feedback and then provide them with a positive consequence when
appropriate.
In essence
with training you are educating why, then showing a person how and what or what
not to do. Antecedents alone result in
temporary behavior change at best.
Consequences must be used to if permanent behavior change is desired.
