Establish a project team to bring together the experts needed to embed ES curriculum into an
existing OHS training program. This requires people with expertise in the development of ES
curriculum and people with knowledge about the development and maintenance of the OHS
curriculum in the current training program.
For example, the project team might include:
• a project coordinator,
• instructional designers,
• training professionals,
• trainers/instructors, and
• essential skills experts.
Ensure the curriculum development team consults with the instructors of the program. It
will be important to have the instructors' commitment to the initiative and to draw on their
expertise in meeting trainees' learning needs.
Identify at the outset of the project who will train the instructors on the delivery of the
modified curriculum.
If formal evaluation of the program is to be undertaken (which is advisable if resources permit),
expertise in program evaluation and data analysis will also be required. Someone with this
expertise should also be invited to join the project team.
