Cons | - Can be difficult to pull multiple workers off the floor at once to watch the video.
- The DVD can get lost or scratched.
- DVD can only train workers at a single location.
| - Due to the per person pricing format, it’s expensive for large companies that need to train hundreds or thousands of employees.
| - By far the most expensive training medium.
- Administering refresher training as well as initial training for new employees can be a logistical nightmare.
| - Comprehensiveness can be lacking. The presentation may not cover all of OSHA’s ‘essential training topics’ and thereby may not provide compliance.
- The walls of text and low resolution images commonly found in powerpoints do a poor job of keeping employees engaged.
