Bringing Fun Back into Safety Training
Boredom in the classroom is something people do everyday, but when dealing with the issue of safety, dozing instead of learning can end up being a matter of life or death.
(PRWEB) August 25, 2006 -- Designed to take the monotony out of classroom based Health and Safety training, a new suite of EazySafe Presenter products using the animated character “Sam the Safety Man”, have just been launched for both the UK and Irish marketplaces.
One of Europe’s leading experts in Health and Safety training, Phoenix Safety has spent the past 12 months researching and developing a series of highly entertaining and student friendly training modules. The result of this R&D is a suite of presentations specifically designed for Health and Safety instructors. Over 20 different courses have been developed which include full moving animations, sound and the facility for the instructor to tailor course content to suit their individual requirements.
CEO, Sean Fennell is convinced that the future of learning lies in stimulating the audience and ensuring maximum information retention, “Extensive market research was conducted among the thousands of students who come through our facilities each year. The results showed that students wanted more fun, stimulation and higher standards in the presentation material”
“Our customers are very excited about these new products with over 30 companies now providing their students with a fresh approach to safety education, these companies can now expect to see significant improvements in the levels of safety awareness in the workplace”, he said.
As well as enhancing the level of knowledge retention, trainers themselves can benefit from time savings and a more professional image to their training. Many of the delicate subjects such as Sexual Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace can be addressed in a more relaxed environment for employees.
One of the most important aspects to delivering safety training is to ensure a balance of material presented to students. For example, over emphasis of legislation is a sure-fire way to put your students to sleep. Keeping your material fresh and engaging is the key to maintaining student’s attention. Safety trainer’s need to understand the changing demands of the learning environment and it is no longer acceptable to produce stale and uninteresting content.
Written by IOSH qualified safety experts EazySafe Presenter is currently available in English for UK or Irish legislation. Plans are currently in place to launch a French version with other country rollouts over the coming months.
