organizations, these teams often rely principally on their university’s or college’sguidelines to develop a set of standard operating procedures. Though these set a base for theteam, the guidelines are no substitute for training that is specific to the safety risks associatedwith work the team is doing. At times, there is limited faculty supervision for such teams in theactual work bays and laboratories, unlike a lab associated with a class which will have onsitestaff, teach assistant or faculty oversight when the physical work is being executed. It is alsodifficult to convince student team leaders to invest time into training team members who may notparticipate on an ongoing basis. In this work a safety training system was implemented at auniversity

solving activities. Theresponsibility of learning shifts from instructor to students. Benefits of TBL include a moreinteractive and engaged classroom, student practice of problem solving, teamwork, and life-longlearning skills. Assessment results showed that over 86% of students surveyed had favorableexperience with TBL. In addition, similar positive experience was reported from students indifferent gender and race, in different academic levels and with different academic performances.These results show that TBL is a teaching pedagogy that can benefit a wide range of students.IntroductionTeam Based Learning (TBL) has been shown to be an effective collaborative learning tool inhealthcare professional schools such as medical, pharmacy and nursing
