As a manager or supervisor, do you hear employees groan about their yearly compliance training? Is it outdated, dreary, and something they dread every year? You're not alone.
Many companies mandate compliance training, but a significant portion of employees find it to be a dull, uninspired experience. However, compliance training is far more than a mere formality; it’s a critical component of safeguarding your company’s reputation, mitigating risk, and ensuring a safe working environment.
So, why is good safety compliance training so crucial? For starters, it helps protect your company during audits or accidents. Well-designed training programs equip employees with the knowledge and skills to adhere to safety regulations, which can be invaluable if an inspection reveals non-compliance issues.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), effective compliance training can reduce workplace accidents by up to 50%.
But here's the catch: employees won't remember a thing if training is a snooze fest. That’s where Michaels & Associates steps in. Imagine a compliance training program that's engaging and mirrors real-life scenarios your employees face daily. This is not just wishful thinking - it’s a reality we bring to life. Our goal is to transform compliance training from a dull chore into an engaging, valuable experience that employees actually look forward to.
Consider our “Stop Drops” training, designed specifically for oil rig personnel worldwide. This program has been instrumental in reducing drop accidents, preventing injuries to workers, and preventing damage to offshore oil rigs from objects dropped from elevated workstations.
We are currently developing training on the all-important topic of “Hand Safety” to decrease the risk of hand injuries and infections in the workplace. Employees learn to identify the various cut levels of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), gain situational awareness of potential hazards, and take the required steps in an emergency.
We regularly design HSE workplace training programs for organizations like yours to protect employees' and contractors' Health, Safety, Security, and Environment. From 5-minute microlearnings to multi-module courses, we can quickly develop training that covers topics such as:
physical safety best practices
properly handling confidential data
being alert to potential cyber security and social media threats
What makes our training stand out? We craft scenarios that are not only true-to-life but also tailored to the specific challenges your employees face. By incorporating thoughtful, iterative mental exercises, we reinforce critical safety processes and procedures in a way that sticks. We take complex and often dry content and make it engaging with visual aids, meaningful stories, and interactive elements. This approach helps increase motivation and interest, ensuring essential safety lessons are learned and remembered.
Investing in high-quality safety compliance training shows your team you care about a safe, supportive work environment. Employees who see their employer’s genuine investment in their safety are more engaged, motivated, and loyal. Effective training boosts morale, reduces turnover (by up to 20%), and strengthens company culture.
On top of that, robust safety training can improve your financial bottom line. By reducing workplace accidents, you avoid costly fines, legal issues, and lost productivity, thus enhancing your company’s financial health.
