Final Guidelines for the Protection and Training of Workers Engaged In Maintenance and Remediation Work Associated with Mold 35 • Adult learning must be reinforced. The knowledge and skills learned for work in the HAZWOPER environment must be retained if such are to be of value to the student. This is the primary purpose of refresher training, which must include critical skills aspects. Site-specific training and periodic drills also serve as reinforcement mechanisms as newly learned knowledge and skills are applied in an actual or simulated work environment. • Adult learning utilizing computer-based training may be challenging in itself to some adult learners. Not all adult learners are fluent in the effective use and application of technology- enhanced training tools, such as computer-based or web-based methods. The students comfort level and fluency with technology must be considered before choosing technology-enhanced instructional methods and also during curriculum design. • Adult education is empowering. The knowledge, skills, and experiences adults gain in education programs should facilitate their becoming and remaining active participants in determining and improving the conditions under which they work and live.
