Visual representation of the importance for workplace readers to manage their reading tasks: attention applied should be greater than attention required. The visual works for employees because it separates them from the notion that “I don’t read!” and gives them workplace reading control and responsibility. The ability to effectively manage reading pays Due Diligence to industry safety. What does it take to be in the moment, to be an active reader? This reading/ memory task tests ability to manage workplace memory habits. The NATO alphabet is used to communicate messages over the radio in a variety of worksites. Divide into groups and do whatever it takes in 4-5 minutes to memorize the NATO alphabet. Realistically, time is money in the workplace and often there is not much time to read and act. Also, distractions are part of the workplace. Ask each group to phonetically spell a word from relevant workplace material. Being in the moment for reading tasks begins with AWARENESS of your: purpose, strategies, and habits. Being in the moment requires replacing passive reading with active reading. Almost all workplace reading requires some form of action. “adults lose sight of the fact that reading requires attention and energy.” 76
Slide 12 Essential Skills and the Northern Oil and Gas Workforce Final Report and Resource Guide Securing Canada’s Energy Future Previewing Task Preview the ConocoPhillips Orientation booklet. 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? Previewing: a quick visual survey; can determine the purpose and strategy for further reading. Group Task: Allow 3 minutes for preview of material; (in this case the ConocoPhillips handbook). Activity: # 1-4 should inform you of the purpose of the document. (Listen to answers) #5: Adds the ACTIVE to the reading process. What action is to be taken? Sample answers: Understand ConocoPhillips policies and commitment to safety, be able to answer 8 questions at end, keep signed copy of orientation card AND booklet in toolbox or vehicle. Change reading from passive to active! W W #6: Questions For example: What is the meaning of PPM in the Table on the back cover? (Parts per Million) Would everyone know this? Why is there a grey band across the third level of the Toxicity Table? (It is the ceiling of the exposure Limit so wear PPE) Does this need to be explained? Are there questions about how to read the document? NOTE to Trainer: As part of the safety training, does the audience require an explanation of how to read this table? Every safety graphic requires Due Diligence for comprehension at that moment in time when it is presented. Never assume that your audience reads all graphics with the same level of comprehension. Research supports that memory is best served if training material is explained accurately the first time it is presented. 77
