Occupational health and safety (OHS) training is an important part of managing workplace hazards and risks. Such
training may involve instruction on identifying occupational risks and how to control them, learning about safe workplace
practices and how to properly use personal protective equipment. Businesses want to know whether training can meet the goals
of decreasing workplace injuries and illness, and whether the cost of training programs can be justified. This systematic review
was conducted to determine whether OHS training and education programs have a beneficial effect on workers and firms. The
review showed that: (1) Workplace education and training programs have a positive impact on OHS practices of workers.
However, there is not enough high quality evidence to show whether OHS training on its own has an impact on health (for
example, by reducing injuries or symptoms). (2) There is currently insufficient evidence to determine whether a single session
of high engagement training has a greater impact compared to a single session of low/medium engagement training.

Methods and apparatus for determining when plants require watering, and methods of attending to the watering of plants
including signaling the grower that the plants are in need of hydration are provided. The novel methods include real-time
measurement of plant metabolics and phytometric physiology changes of intrinsic physical or behavioral traits within the plant
such as determining physiological flux measurement of enzyme flux due to environmental changes such as the wind and
drought stress, soil and plant mineral deficiencies, or the interaction with a bio-control for organic disease control including,
cell movement, signal transduction, internal chemical processes and external environmental processes including when plants
