Scenario-based review makes safety rules easier to remember and easier to apply when a question describes a worksite condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8) Use spaced review to build long-term retention.\u003c\/strong\u003e Instead of reading once and moving on, schedule recurring review sessions.
