Safety Labs by Safety Products Global How To Improve Safety Training
In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with safety, training and development consultant Cameron Hacault, CEO of Haland Learning, who directs the design and implementation of safety courses and instructor training.
Cameron is on a mission to make safety training NOT suck, and he shares expert advice to help HSE professionals deliver effective learning that’s practical, understandable, and applicable.
The purpose of training should always be co-worker safety, and Cameron explains why it should never be driven by organizations wanting to cover themselves in the event of accidents. Therefore, it’s no surprise he urges HSE professionals to focus on the learners when designing safety training.
Cameron strongly believes that training needs to be based on dialogue, not monologue and gives guidance on how to avoid “shoveling safety at people”’ and treating them like ‘inanimate objects’.
He gives many practical tips on making learning sessions more engaging and explains why questions and curiosity are crucial components to delivering effective safety messages.
Every element of safety training is covered: the importance of the learning environment, online course, trainer competencies and common pitfalls. Cameron’s interview is exactly like his courses - highly practical, easily understandable, and totally applicable.
