Workers must participate in training and...

• A. participate in training only
• B. apply only
• C. participate in training and apply their training
• D. neither

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that safety relies on both knowing what to do and actually doing it. When workers participate in training, they gain the knowledge and skills to perform tasks safely. But real safety comes from applying that training on the job—consistently using the correct procedures, PPE, and controls in daily work. If you train without applying, knowledge may not translate into safe behavior. If you apply without proper training, actions may be correct only by chance and could be unsafe or noncompliant. Therefore, the best approach is to have workers participate in training and actively apply what they’ve learned.
