Coastal Training Technologies is now offering STOP™ (Safety Training Observation Program), DuPont's premier safety product. This training philosophy has been successfully used by organizations worldwide for the past 30 years. STOP™ effectively reduces lost workdays, increases productivity and boosts employees' morale.

By offering STOP™, Coastal adds another world-class product to its already impressive training line.

STOP™ uses a three-part instructional design to impart the information, maximize retention and apply learning to the real world.

• In Individual Self-Study, participants learn basic concepts and begin safety skill development.
• In Field or Application Activities, participants turn abstract concepts into concrete realities as they practice what they are learning.
• In Group Meetings, participants watch a video and exchange ideas, comments and feedback about the program.

In this three-pronged approach, theory and practice blend harmoniously, thus ensuring a complete and optimum training experience for employees.

The STOP™ family of products includes:

STOP™ for Supervision

This course trains line management to take responsibility and eliminate incidents and injuries. It develops a critical skill in observing people as they work, developing caring and positive relationships with employees, correcting unsafe acts, preventing injuries and reinforcing safe practices. STOP™ for Supervision builds a common understanding and commitment to safety in the workplace.

STOP™ For Each Other

This course helps employees acquire new safety perspectives. It develops self-accountability and teamwork, training employees to rely on themselves and each other to stay safe. It also fosters increased peer-to-peer communication and allows safety to become second nature to the individual and, over time, a greater and more integral part of the company culture.

• STOP™ for Ergonomics

Cultivating an eye for ergonomics, this course trains employees to spot and remedy hazards through a powerful observation model. It also encourages peer-to-peer communication and illustrates safe ergonomic practices that improve performance and enhance existing safety programs.

• STOP DataPro™

A companion to the three STOP™ programs, this is DuPont's standard data management tool for administering the progam, gathering data and measuring results.

• Implementation Assistance Workshop
This introductory workshop precedes each STOP™ for Supervision and STOP™ for Each Other implementation to increase the likelihood of success. STOP™ experts lay the groundwork for the actual training, tailored to ensure optimum investment returns and forge a strong STOP™ foundation in the organization.
The workshop is either conducted on-site at the client's location for up to 20 participants or as a scheduled open session.
