Scores on the written test taken after the training were significantly higher among those who took the modified program (i.e. with the embedded ES curriculum) than among those who did not. 1 We conducted interviews and focus groups with trainees to ascertain their views about the training program and the applicability of the training to their work. We interviewed key staff of the training centre, including the instructor who delivered most sessions of the pilot program, and those involved in the curriculum development process about their experience in the development/delivery of the pilot program. We met with the four sector-based health and safety associations (HSAs) in Ontario to discuss preliminary findings and seek their advice on what would be most useful in a guide. Trainees, training centre staff and the HSAs all emphasized the importance of connecting the training to what is expected by employers and supervisors at worksites. Trainees also emphasized the importance of hands-on training using the equipment that they would use on the job. 1 Because of the small sample size, control variables were entered alternately in the analysis.
