“…OHS professionals is an understudied group of organizational actors that frequently use training to fulfill safety goals (Daudigeos, 2013; Pryor et al , 2015). As internal resource, safety trainers’ scope of influence over transfer is greater, compared to external safety trainers (Martin and Hrivnak, 2009), as they are better positioned to collaborate with other training stakeholders and more familiarized with the organization functioning (Martin and Hrivnak, 2009; Hutchins, 2009), especially in the OHS field. This knowledge facilitates the tailoring of the training toward voluntary transfer and enables trainers to act as “managers of training transfer” (Kopp, 2006, p. 353) or “transfer agents” (Wong and Lee, 2017).…”

“…In any sustainability change initiative, the champion has a unique responsibility in moving things forward and creating a culture conducive to change, whereby individuals and the organization are more agile and innovative. Martin and Hrivnak (2009) note the importance of change agents as well as contextual considerations. They highlight the systematic process by which organizations can train current employees to be instruments of positive organizational change by developing knowledge workers and creating a learning organization (Martin and Hrivnak, 2009).…”

“…However, In-Company Trainers can be considered as key persons within this framework, since they act as learning agents and from their own role are expected to have the potential to influence other people in the organizations (e.g. Martin & Hrivnak, 2009;Cedefop, 2015b etc. ).…”

“…This perspective is partially explained, since external trainers and consultants are often an expensive solution. In response to it, organizations have started to turn to their own employees to find the trainers needed (Evans et al, 1990;Johnson & Leach, 2001;Tyler, 2005;Martin & Hrivnak, 2009). However, this response is often questioned on its effectiveness.…”
