Re[2]: Anecdotes

     I agree totally with the comment below. The best training is one that 
     incorporates real-life examples. One of our requirements for our plant 
     training programs is the inclusion of actual incidents, whether they 
     be examples of human or equipment failures. Lessons Learned are very 
     important, for a trainee is more apt to relate to an actual 
     occurrence, than to an instructor talking about hypothetical 
     situations.
     
     Radsafe is a forum to discuss radiation topics. Training is part of 
     it, and if one person sees something in these anecdotes that will 
     eliminate a potential problem from occurring, or reoccurring, then it 
     has served this purpose very well.

If you have ever taught radiation safety to researchers at a university you 
would appreciate the value of "war stories".  Few pay attention to rules 
without some real life stories as to why you should do something.  Of 
course even then they know that it can not happen to them.
