Regarding safety training sessions, which statement is correct?

• A. They should be conducted by the safety officer
• B. They should be conducted occasionally
• C. They should be conducted by each crew member
• D. They should be conducted frequently by the crew leader

Answer: (D)

Frequent, on-the-job safety training led by the person directing the work ensures that hazards are addressed where and when they occur. The crew leader is closest to the daily tasks, can tailor the training to the current job, and can immediately demonstrate proper procedures, correct unsafe actions, and reinforce safe habits as work progresses. While the safety officer provides expertise and formal sessions, ongoing reinforcement by the crew leader keeps safety top of mind and helps ensure that practices are followed consistently. Occasional training misses too many opportunities to refresh important safety points, and having each crew member train themselves is not practical or reliable. By guiding regular safety sessions, the crew leader integrates safety into the workflow and supports continuous improvement in the crew’s safety performance.
