How can Field Training Officers promote a culture of safety within training?

Field Training Officers can promote a culture of safety within training by modeling safe practices and ensuring that trainees understand safety protocols. This is critical because when Field Training Officers actively demonstrate and adhere to safety measures, they set a standard for trainees to follow. This hands-on approach helps create an environment where safety is prioritized and ingrained in the training process.

By explaining safety protocols clearly and engaging trainees in discussions about these practices, Field Training Officers can reinforce the importance of safety in a practical context. This not only builds confidence in the trainees' ability to enact these practices but also encourages a mindset where safety becomes an integral part of their professional behavior.

Encouraging a culture of safety requires consistency and visible commitment from Field Training Officers, which leads to a more informed and responsible set of trainees who are better prepared to recognize and address safety concerns.
