Build an on-the-job training checklist and skills sign-off
A structured OJT plan and observed-skills checklist so a trainer can teach, check, and sign off hands-on competence.
The prompt
Create an on-the-job training (OJT) checklist and sign-off record for a hands-on role.
Role: [e.g. "forklift operator", "lab technician", "new bank teller"]
Tasks the person must perform independently: [LIST, or paste the SOPs]
Safety, quality, or regulatory requirements: [DETAILS]
Who trains and who signs off: [e.g. "buddy trainer, then supervisor"]
Time frame: [e.g. "first 4 weeks"]
Structure the training using a demonstrate-practice-perform sequence: trainer shows and explains, learner practices with coaching, learner performs independently while observed.
Return:
1. A task list grouped by priority: safety-critical first, then daily core tasks, then less frequent tasks.
2. A checklist table: Task | Standard (what "correct" looks like, observable) | Critical steps that must not be missed | Date demonstrated | Date practiced | Date signed off | Trainer initials | Learner initials.
3. Sign-off criteria: how many correct independent performances, under what conditions, and what triggers retraining.
4. A short guide for the buddy trainer: how to explain, how to give feedback, and what to do if the learner is struggling.
5. A weekly schedule for the training period.
Do not invent technical steps or safety requirements. Use only what is in my source and mark gaps [CONFIRM WITH SUPERVISOR OR SAFETY LEAD]. Check regulatory sign-off requirements with your compliance team.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
