Slide 13  Previewing Rewards

Extra task:
Without looking … What is the biggest potential emergency on site? How many steps? Who would like to try to name all seven? If you can only name a few, then remember that you were not asked to memorize. And the preview is the first strategy.

For the trainer:
a simple 5 minute preview can save time and promotes greater understanding and confidence for the employee. Encouraging questions from the preview reveals levels of understanding that may require further training or upgrading.

For the employee:
Previewing sets the stage for recall and comprehension and reduces stress because the reader sees the scope of the task quickly; we are more stressed by what we don’t know. It is also the first step in tackling a large quantity of reading. Previewing is one strategy which keeps the employee in the moment.
