When safety training needed to become something people experienced

One of the previous award-winning innovations took a very different approach to safety learning.

The problem

Traditional approaches to briefing and training were not necessarily producing the consistency of safety leadership and behaviour required in a complex operational environment.

Something different was needed.

The idea

The solution was an immersive approach to safety leadership and learning.

Rather than simply telling people about safety, the programme created realistic situations in which participants could experience the issues for themselves.

Drama, actors, film and realistic scenarios were brought together to create an engaging learning environment.

The result

The programme was delivered at significant scale and demonstrated strong engagement and reported behavioural outcomes.

The lesson

Innovation doesn’t have to be technology.

Sometimes the innovation is in how you approach a problem.

If your organisation has found a different way to make people safer, it could be worth entering.
