The meaning of the four states

The characteristics of the four states can be described for this subject area as follows:

	dependent – HSE or Supervisor does most of the training. Training may be accomplished by “reading the procedure” and signing off or through completion of computer-based systems
	independent – Employee input to training is regularly requested and accepted, employees volunteer to do some HSE training and feedback is encouraged to improve quality and value of training
	interdependent – A cross-functional “training team” comprised of employees does needs analysis for HDE training. Training team determines when someone is qualified. Volunteers regularly perform HSE training
	reactive – Training is often not completed on time or at all, and does only fulfil minimum legal requirements
