Safety and Workplace Reading: NATO Alphabet Exercise Recall and being an active reader to improve recall are a major focus in the Safety and Workplace Reading workshops offered by Keyano College. Practice Recall This reading/ memory task will test your ability to manage your workplace memory habits. The NATO alphabet is used to communicate messages over the radio in a variety of worksites. Divide <strong>into</strong> groups and do whatever it takes in 4-5 minutes to memorize the NATO alphabet (below). Realistically, time is money in the workplace and we are often not given much time to read and act. Also, distractions are part of the workplace.

What strategies did you use? Did you reorganize the data? Did you engage your senses? Did you use repetition?
Safety and Workplace Reading: Previewing Exercise Previewing sets the stage for recall and comprehension and reduces stress. How does it reduce stress? The reader sees the scope of the task quickly; we are more stressed by what we don’t know. It is also the first step in tackling a large quantity of reading. Previewing is done to acquire a quick visual survey. A preview: ¾ can determine the purpose and strategy for further reading. ¾ aids comprehension and recall. ¾ tackles a large quantity of information faster. ¾ may be all that is necessary. Once previewing is taught in the workshop, all the reading encountered including trades books in the classroom, is previewed. For the trainer: a simple 5 minute preview can save time and promotes a greater understanding and confidence for the employee. Encouraging questions from the preview reveals levels of understanding that may require further training or upgrading. Activity Use a safety handbook or other instructional document used by all employees/learners in the group. Tell them to take 3 minutes to preview the document using the steps outlined below. 1. Check the title, length, source and year. 2. Determine the purpose and intended audience. 3. Note the organization of text and graphics. 4. Read the introduction and check the end pages. 5. Predict your workplace responsibilities. 6. What questions do you need answered? Then discuss the answers to questions that pertain to the document. As an example: The sample activity from Keyano College used a safety handbook for employees working in extraction and asked the following questions. 1. What three steps must you take when injured at work. 2. In what areas of extraction are you permitted to have a beard? 3. When is fall protection required? 4. What are the four steps in the Syncrude Environment Health and Safety Management System? 5. What questions do you need answered? (this especially important for the trainer)
