MODEL QUIZ TO VERIFY EFFECTIVENESS OF SAFETY
TRAINING
PROBLEM: Simply delivering safety training isn’t enough to comply with OHS laws. You also need to be
able to prove that you took steps to verify that safety training you deliver is effective and that employees
understand it.
HOW TOOL HELPS SOLVE THE PROBLEM: One of the best ways to verify training’s effectiveness—
and document your attempts—is to administer a quiz to employees after training is complete. Here’s a Model
Quiz you can use to verify chemical safety training under WHMIS, the Workplace Hazardous Materials
Information System. This quiz was adapted from a WHMIS training quiz prepared by the University of
Victoria for food services staff. There’s also an answer key at the bottom of the page that you can use to check
your workers’ answers (be sure to remove the key before you give them the quiz). As with any model form,
you’ll need to make revisions depending on your industry and the kind of operations you perform.
