Implementation of Distance Learning in HSE

Digitalization in HSE: From Paper Instructions to Interactive Learning

Modern realities and external factors, such as the pandemic, have accelerated digitalization processes in all areas, including industrial safety. The transition from a formal "tick-the-box" approach to real employee engagement is becoming a necessity for large industrial enterprises. During the webinar, Alexey Kozyrev, Head of the HSE Department at the Solnechnogorsk Europlast Plant, shares practical experience in implementing a distance learning system for production personnel.

The speaker analyzes the transition process from traditional paper briefings to interactive e-courses, emphasizing the importance of adapting training materials to the specifics of a particular enterprise and workplaces.

Platform Selection and Training Program Structure

When choosing a distance learning platform, the key criteria were the ability to develop courses for specific professions, maximum process automation, detailed analytics, and the potential for implementing gamification. The presentation details the approach to forming training programs, which include several interconnected blocks.

• Adapted instructions: Moving away from overloaded texts in favor of compact materials (5-7 pages) rich in visual content (photos of real workplaces, safety signs, hazardous areas). This allows focusing the worker's attention on truly important aspects.
• Video instructions and video lessons: Using both ready-made clips and materials filmed directly at the production site with the participation of the workers themselves. Short videos (7-15 minutes) demonstrate correct action algorithms, such as checking equipment using a checklist.
• Album of anomalies: A live database of photos showing violations and examples of their elimination, collected based on real situations at the enterprise. This tool visually demonstrates potential risks and ways to minimize them.
• Test and practical tasks: Developing questions taking into account the specifics of particular equipment and technological processes, which eliminates the possibility of formally passing tests using search engines.

Analytics and Training Quality Control

The effectiveness of distance learning directly depends on the quality of analytics and feedback. The speaker uses an example to show how a detailed analysis of the learning process helps identify problem areas and improve training materials.

• Time and quality analysis: Tracking the time spent completing courses, individual blocks, and answering questions. This helps identify topics that cause the most difficulties for workers.
• Engagement assessment: Monitoring user activity (scrolling, video viewing) and analyzing preferred learning times to optimize the educational process.
• Ratings and motivation: Introducing elements of competition between departments and linking training results to KPIs to increase staff interest.
