The purpose of this TIP is to organize and provide information supporting the need for hands on safety training and multiple, best practice examples of effective hands-on safety training. Beyond the development, and execution of hands-on safety training, audit and verification ensuring skill and understanding are necessary. This is the first TIP of this type based on sharing safety related best practices and will serve as a model for future safety related best practice topics.
