What type of content should safety officers consider using during lectures to keep participants engaged?

Safety officers should consider using hands-on or interactive material during lectures to effectively engage participants. This approach fosters a more dynamic learning environment where attendees can actively participate and apply concepts in a practical manner. Engaging participants through activities, discussions, or simulations enhances retention of information and encourages collaboration among attendees.

In contrast, text-heavy presentations may overwhelm or bore the audience, as they often lack interactive elements that facilitate engagement. Videos, while potentially entertaining, can also lead to passive learning if they do not incorporate discussion or activities to encourage participation. Technical manuals are typically dry and focused on detailed information, which may not effectively capture the attention of a diverse audience and could detract from interactive learning experiences. Utilizing hands-on or interactive materials promotes active involvement, making learning more impactful and memorable.
