This article reviews and evaluates the effectiveness of various safety training methods in the context of mining, construction, and energy industries. The authors, Paweł Bęs and Paweł Strzalkowski, from the Department of Mining at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, emphasize the importance of safety training in reducing accidents and enhancing employee awareness of occupational hazards. They argue that proper planning, design, and preparation are crucial for the effectiveness of training methods. The study uses SWOT and multi-criteria analyses to evaluate the most common training methods, including traditional lectures, e-learning, active training methods with discussions and gamification, augmented and virtual reality, demonstrations, and simulations. The qualitative and quantitative analyses provide guidance for selecting the most effective training methods, regardless of the industry. Key findings include: - Active training methods with elements of discussion and gamification, augmented and virtual reality, demonstrations, and simulations are among the most effective. - Combining multiple training methods can achieve the best results, maintaining a balance to meet training objectives. - The choice of training method should be tailored to the participants' experience, skills, and knowledge levels. - Continuous evaluation and improvement are essential for enhancing the quality and effectiveness of training. The authors conclude that active teaching methods are highly effective, but the highest effectiveness is achieved through a variety of didactic methods used interchangeably or simultaneously. They stress the importance of adapting training methods to the physical, emotional, and intellectual predispositions of the students and incorporating the stages of the learning process (experience, reflection, theory, and practice). The study highlights the need for further research to identify effective training methods and improve employee awareness of occupational hazards, particularly in industries with high-risk activities such as mining, construction, and energy.This article reviews and evaluates the effectiveness of various safety training methods in the context of mining, construction, and energy industries.
