Need ideas for integrating relevant assessment? Here’s an example of what we are doing with one of our clients.
Our client is updating their OH&S training. As part of hazard recognition, we have a series of mini scenarios like the one below. Participants are to identify the hazard category the scenario represents.
Priyanka is working in the kitchen and hurriedly reaches for a pot on a high shelf. In her haste, she accidentally knocks over a container of hot oil, causing it to spill onto the floor.
What makes this scenario effective?
The client identified spills and burns in the kitchen as an issue to be addressed.
It is simple yet accurately depicts something that happens in the workplace.
It is aligned to the learning objective of identifying hazard categories.
It can lead to a rich discussion among participants, as it is relevant. This increases motivation and learning.
Scenarios are powerful because they can:
provide immediate feedback to participants and facilitators
align to the job role
be customized to fit the organization’s needs
