Develop safety culture training with mixed learning

Make a stick in safety culture

Occupational safety does not only concern compliance, it is a question of creating a culture where security becomes an intrinsic part of the daily activities of employees. However, the traditional training in safety culture often fails to hire employees, which reduces its effectiveness.

Mixed learning, which incorporates training in Elearning, led by instructors (ILT), on -the -job training (OTJ) and Elearning, including modalities such as microlearning or gamification, has a more effective approach. In this article, we will explore how mixed learning promotes a robust security culture while ensuring greater retention and application of safety practices.

Develop safety culture training with mixed learning

Ensuring safety at work is an essential responsibility for organizations. However, traditional safety training methods, often made up of long presentations and heavy texts of text, fail to attract the attention of employees. Consequently, compliance becomes a simple formality rather than a deeply rooted work practice.

A well -structured mixed learning approach can change this dynamic. For example, a manufacturing company struggling with a low commitment to safety training has reorganized its approach by introducing simulations based on scenarios and microlearning. Employees have become more committed and compliance with security has improved considerably.

So how can organizations do safety training that is both engaging and efficient? Let's explore key strategies that can lead a strong security culture.

1. Learning based on an interactive scenario: to make training in engaging security

Safety training is more effective when it simulates real situations. Script -based learning Immerse employees in realistic environments where they need to apply safety protocols in a risk -free framework.

For example, a construction company that has been faced with challenges with the identification of dangers has introduced virtual simulation. The employees participated in an interactive exercise where they had to identify potential dangers in a simulated work environment. A worker noted: “I had not achieved the number of dangers I had ignored daily – this exercise changed my perspective.”

When the training is realistic and experiential, employees internalize security procedures more effectively.

2. Microlearning: provide safety training in modules the size of a bite

Employees often find it difficult to allocate prolonged times for training. Microlearning, which offers concise and targeted security lessons, helps take up this challenge.

A Computer Company has implemented a microlearning for cybersecurity and emergency intervention training. Employees have accessed short interactive videos that provided crucial security information in a few minutes. An employee pointed out: “I learned more than one five -minute session than I did from a full training course.”

By integrating microlearning, organizations can ensure that employees receive essential security training without disturbing their workflow.

3. Training and mentorship during the user: strengthening of security practices

Reading security procedures is not enough; Employees must practice them in real world scenarios. OTJ, twinned with mentorship, strengthens training through practical experience.

A warehouse undergoing frequent injuries linked to lifting introduced a structured mentoring program. The experienced employees have guided new hires thanks to correct lifting techniques, resulting in a marked drop in injuries. A trainee shared: “The fact that a mentor shows that the right technique in a real setting was much more effective than reading a manual.”

The encouragement of peer learning guarantees safety practices is systematically applied in daily operations.

4. Gamification and awards: Encourage the participation of employees

The integration of gamification elements – such as quizs, rankings and rewards – improves commitment and motivates employees to undergo training seriously.

A logistics company introduced a gamified approach to risk identification, where employees have gained points to identify and report security risks. In a few months, risk reports increased by 35% and employees became more proactive to maintain a safe workplace.

Gamification transforms the safety training of a compulsory obligation into an interactive and enriching experience.

5. Mobile learning and just in time: access to safety resources instantly

Provide employees instantaneous access to security resources strengthens compliance and strengthens learning. Mobile learning and just in time training guarantee that employees can recover security information when they need it most.

A global construction company has implemented a mobile security application with control lists and emergency protocols. Workers have accessed the application on site, allowing them to quickly refresh their knowledge on the main safety practices. This real -time accessibility has improved compliance and reduced incidents in the workplace.

When employees have information on safety at hand, they are more likely to apply it effectively.

Case study: Reduce incidents in the workplace in manufacturing

A global energy consulting company has struggled to increase accident rates due to a lack of engagement in traditional security training programs. We have proposed a mixed learning solution made up of Elearning modules and virtual workshops hosted on Kredo Learning platform to meet this challenge.

Solution

• Personalized mixed learning modules: Short Elearning modules have introduced the fundamental principles of security using animations, offenders and interactive exercises. These were completed by training sessions led by instructors (Vilt), which presented real-time surveys, group discussions and exercises based on a scenario. This combination has ensured the flexibility, consistency and commitment of employees in various roles and locations.
• Mobile accessibility: The training equipment was accessible via mobile devices via Kredo, allowing employees to learn at any time and anywhere. This availability on demand made it possible to learn just in time and ensured transparent integration in employee workflows.
• Interactive content: Vilt sessions have incorporated gamification elements such as quiz and role playing exercises to improve commitment. The employees participated in simulations and to choose your adventure scenarios to practice risk recognition and decision -making in risk -free environments.
• Performance monitoring: Kredo provided real -time monitoring of learners' progress and performance. Managers could monitor the measures, identify gaps and offer targeted support. This approach led to a 40% reduction in security violations, an improvement in knowledge retention and a declaration of security problems.

The results were exceptional:

• There was a 40% reduction in security violations.
• Employees have proactively reported security problems, preventing potential incidents.
• Higher training rate and retention of improved knowledge.

Conclusion

Safety training is essential, but it must be engaging and practical to be effective. A mixed learning approach – Incorporation of interactive scenarios, microlearning, training during employment, gamification and mobile learning – the installation of employees internalizing and effectively apply safety procedures.
