Deerns is an international engineering firm that works daily on complex building and infrastructure projects. For Deerns, the safety of employees is essential. To support the safety policy and inform employees, we have developed e-learning for Deerns covering several aspects of workplace safety.
Our Assignment: QHSE e-learnings
Deerns wanted to support employees in raising their knowledge to a higher level, and e-learnings can help with that. Safety is a broad concept. In consultation with Deerns, it was decided to focus the QHSE e-learnings on five components: First Aid, personal protective equipment (PPE), unsafe situations, risk analyses, and reporting incidents.
How do you package this assignment into an engaging e-learning? We have created five microlearnings, each containing a mix of different media that constantly engage the participants to continue.
Our approach: mixed media that reinforce each other
Safety seems like a given, and that is precisely where the danger lies. Even within an engineering firm, people often assume that their working environment is safe, while that is not a given. To effectively highlight the importance of safety, we have depicted recognizable work situations and realistic scenarios. We present these to the learner through text, images, interactions, explanatory videos, and animations.
In the interactive modules, employees learn to deal with the five aforementioned themes. Completing a microlearning takes about 15 minutes, during which a new form follows every one or two minutes, for example, by asking a question, providing an interactive infographic, or presenting an animation. This keeps the learner engaged and challenges them repeatedly, ensuring that the microlearnings are not seen as a mandatory task.
The Result
There are now five powerful microlearnings, packed with various media formats and available in both Dutch and English. In just 15 minutes, Deerns employees learn several aspects of safe working, where images tell the story.
Thanks to the structure and content, safety has thereby become an even more important theme within the organization ‘naturally’.
