Supplies and Support
Make sure you have enough training devices, including
interchangeable parts such as mouthpieces and noseclamps.
One SR-D or SR-T training device for every two trainees
is a minimum for saving time and keeping
traineesfocused. Provide one SR-MP per trainee.
If you need additional training devices or parts, check
with your company or your local CSE representative,
or see the CSE Products Guide.
Call for backup.
A CSE trainer may be available to work with you
before or during your class.
Check with your local CSE representative a few days
before your class.
Prepare training handouts.
Copies of pages from this manual (either photocopied
or downloaded from csecorporation.com) will help your
trainees understand and remember what you teach.
You may want to add safety information specific to
your company, or copies of trade magazine articles or
news stories.
Homework
Refresh your knowledge.
Review the appropriate pages in this manual.
Watch the relevant segment or segments on the
CSESelf-Contained Self-Rescuer Training Program DVD.
It shows how the lessons in this manual apply in real
life, and it will help you prepare for questions.
Rehearse your class.
First, find a quiet place and read all the material you’re
going to cover (pages from this manual, for instance)
out loud. That will give you some practice, plus a rough
idea of the time your class will take.
Outline the points you’re going to present. On the day
of the class, you’ll want to work informally from your
outline, instead of reading the manual. That way you
can hold everyone’s attention and be sure that your
message is getting through.
Practice acting out your class until you’re comfortable
covering all the material. Ask a friend or family
member to stand in for your audience, raise questions,
and give you feedback.
