High-tech vs. hands-on training

Description

Abstract: Contractors have traditionally used on-site, face-to-face training to instruct workers in procedures, safety, personal protection equipment and job functions. Although there’s nothing wrong with this conventional approach, there’s an alternative that can be equally, if not more, effective. This brief article goes into the pros and cons of both hands-on instruction and computer-based training through DVDs, CD-ROMs or the Internet. (Updated 3/20/12)
