Summary
Organizations that fail to provide effective health and safety training put their employees at increased risk of harm.
To deliver effective health and safety training, there are three crucial elements to consider.
Being able to demonstrate how and why the training is important to the employee is key to the uptake and long-term retention of the training.
One form of training that delivers on each of these elements is game-based training.
App-based training like this can be used remotely via mobile, tablet or PC, giving workers the flexibility and accessibility to complete and repeat their training at a time convenient to them.
As the results show, proper training can drive a strong culture of health and safety, which could provide a competitive advantage.
