New employees have more accidents, likely due to having lessknowledge and experience [29]. Rapidly changing technologies mean more training than ever isneeded to ensure employees are qualified and competent to safely and effectively do their jobs.This author has some personal experience with some of these challenges in a previous roleproviding continuing professional development for operators at refineries.
