Computer Training: Operator Safety Training for Mechanical Power Presses

 
Purpose
Small metal fabricating employers do not always have the resources to develop training materials for press operators. This program is designed to assist with training of press operators.

The training is offered in both English & Spanish at no cost to any employer. However, the employer must agree to provide feedback to us after using the program. The feedback instrument consists of thee perforated pages located in the Workbook that each participant is asked to complete before and after the training. The feedback will assist us in determining where changes should be made as well as providing us with information as to future computer based training products. When requesting the program, let us know the number of workbooks that will be needed (English and Spanish) as one workbook is provided for each participant.

Project Description
This is an interactive computer-based-training (CBT) program for mechanical power press operators in both English and Spanish. It can be used to train an entire group of employees, or used individually where an employee can progress at his own pace. Computer based training is an interactive training method where employees can work at their own pace to complete the lesson. The training presents information (audio, visually) in small "chunks", then asks questions of the employee about the material he just learned. If the employee responds correctly, he proceeds to the next lesson. If he answers incorrectly, remediation takes place. The employee reviews the material again and must answer correctly before going to the next lesson. When the employee reviews all material and correctly answers all questions, a certificate of completion is provided. Scoring of test results is provided to the employer as a permanent record of training. The training objectives include: identify nomenclature and functions of basic press parts; locate and identify purpose of press controls; identify safeguarding methods; identify basic press operator responsibilities. Training records will be automatically produced for the employer on those employees who satisfactorily complete the training. Project will include a workbook that covers more detail than the CD.
