Course 15: Safety Task Action Reporting (STAR) (1-day worker course)
In this course, workers learn why and how to perform observations and coaching of their peers in the workplace. The method, called Safety Task Observation Reporting (STAR), attacks bad habits directly, which are the most stubborn forms of human error causes to eliminate.
This course is only offered as a private offering at a client’s site. Please contact PII for details about having our training provided at your site.
STAR is based on the principle of reinforcing good behavior frequently and positively, while at the same time encouraging changes to poor habits in a coaching setting by peers (reducing the negative aspect of correction of bad habits). This method has a 70% success rate in reducing errors caused by bad habits.
