Supplies and Support
Make sure you have enough training devices, including
interchangeable parts such as mouthpieces and nose clamps.
▸ One
SR-D
or
SR-T
training device for every two trainees
is a minimum for saving time and keeping
trainees focused. Provide one
SR-MP
per trainee.
▸ If you need additional training devices or parts, check
with your company or your local
CSE
representative,
or see the
CSE
Products Guide.
Call for backup.
▸ A
CSE
trainer may be available to work with you
before or during your class.
▸ Check with your local
CSE
representative a few days
before your class.
Prepare training handouts.
▸ Copies of pages from this manual (either photocopied
or downloaded from
csecorporation.com
) will help your
trainees understand and remember what you teach.
▸ You may want to add safety information specific to
your company, or copies of trade magazine articles or
news stories.
Homework
Refresh your knowledge.
▸ Review the appropriate pages in this manual.
▸ Watch the relevant segment or segments on the
CSE
Self-Contained Self-Rescuer Training Program
DVD
.
It shows how the lessons in this manual apply in real
life, and it will help you prepare for questions.
Rehearse your class.
▸ First, find a quiet place and read all the material you’re
going to cover (pages from this manual, for instance)
out loud. That will give you some practice, plus a rough
idea of the time your class will take.
▸ Outline the points you’re going to present. On the day
of the class, you’ll want to work informally from your
outline, instead of reading the manual. That way you
can hold everyone’s attention and be sure that your
message is getting through.
▸ Practice acting out your class until you’re comfortable
covering all the material. Ask a friend or family
member to stand in for your audience, raise questions,
and give you feedback.
TIPS
PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE
• Keep away from politics,
especially company politics.
If a trainee insists on hearing
your opinion, one safe
answer is, “My opinion is that
I’m not here to talk about
my opinions.”
• Don’t dominate the
conversation. Allow plenty
of openings for interaction
and feedback.
• Keep cool. Catch yourself if
you feel like over-reacting
or getting defensive.
• Never use sarcasm.
• Don’t stand for horseplay.
A little humor is a good thing,
but remind the group that
trainees who clown around
may endanger their buddies’
lives, and their own, in an
emergency.
