WTP Technical Workshops
The fall 2012 WTP technical workshop, “Prove It Makes a Difference: Evaluation Best Practices for Safety and Health Training,” brought together WTP awardees and others interested in evaluation of worker safety and health training. In preparation for the workshop, summaries of the various types of evaluation tools and methods used by WTP awardees were compiled from awardee progress reports and inputs. These summaries can be used as a resource to compare and promote learning about evaluation tools and methods. Descriptive snapshots of awardee programs and program evaluations are included below.
