Which of the following training delivery methods is most effective when the training involves high-risk...

HRPA’s Learning & Development and Health & Safety guidance emphasize that when skills involve high-risk tasks or hazardous conditions, simulation is preferred because it replicates critical elements of the job in a controlled environment, allowing practice without exposing learners to real danger. Job instruction/on-the-job training may be unsafe for high-risk scenarios, while lecture and discussion are low-fidelity methods that build knowledge but do not provide safe, practical skill rehearsal for hazardous tasks.
