"Training in a broad sense is a continuous process in life to equip oneself with knowledge, skills and desired patterns of behaviour to be effective as an individual and as a member in the group. Training in a job or activity is again a process of creating awareness, imparting new knowledge and developing skills, attitudes and values in people in order to make them effective and efficient in their job through instruction, practice, demonstration or other techniques either on-the-job or in a formal training situation. The present book focuses on \'Training Methods\' specifically related to industrial safety and simultaneously deals with different types of training programmes related to multiple objectives.

Organised in 18 chapters followed by appendices and an exhaustive bibliography, the present book deals with training programmes related to diverse fields. The book will be a useful source for the trainers especially engaged in training. It will also serve as a guide to the industrial units." (jacket)
