The Effectiveness Of Video Technology In Safety Training At An Industrial Site., Robert Steven Miller
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The rationale for this allocation of resources rests on the concern for employees' well-being, federal and state regulations, and the profit incentive. In order to test the most feasible and effective program to generate safety awareness and teach specific safety skills, a system of daily reinforcement using an in-plant cable tablevision capability was conceptualized, designed, implemented and tested.

Lay Leader Participation In Extension Work In The Philippines., Blanda Relente Sumayao
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The need for research on people participation in development, particularly by extension lay leaders, is especially important in the Philippines where, paradoxically manpower in agricultural extension is limited but abundant in the rural areas.
