Safety training programs play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy organizational environment for employees and customers. This is particularly true for businesses involved in heavy manufacturing, energy production, mining and food production. The OptionPower interactive response system has been adopted by an increasing number of organizations in these fields to enhance the effectiveness of safety training.
Maintaining attentiveness during training sessions and obtaining honest responses from workshop participants without fear of reprisal are common challenges. With Option Technologies’ audience response system, employers can boost attentiveness and gather more accurate and honest responses from their workers. The anonymity provided by the software allows employees the ability to comfortably express their concerns and level of knowledge on safety topics. It also enables employers to better gage employees intent to implement safety skills on the job and address misperceptions directly.
High risk industries in particular can greatly benefit from the use of Option Technologies’ OptionPower interactive software. Companies in construction, mining, manufacturing and air transportation provide workers with continuous physical exertion and engagement. When these workers participate in training programs, attentiveness can sometimes be a challenge.
Research shows that by using OTI’s interactive software and handheld keypad hardware, employees are more alert and engaged in their training. They can answer questions posed by their instructors in real time using handheld devices and view instantaneous results. They pay closer attention and retain more information. The system allows trainers and supervisors to address problem areas in real time.
The anonymity provided by OptionFinder wireless ARS keypads allows for more honest and accurate results in measuring employee mastery of safety concepts and procedures. With the push of a button, a workshop participant can express his or her response to a question posed without fear of having results tracked back to his or her identity. By engaging workers in this way, employers can obtain a more accurate assessment of how well their workers comprehend and intend to apply the learning subject matter. When it comes to safety in the workplace, there is simply not a more effective way to gather this crucial information.
As an employer, you can customize the OptionPower software to your needs. You can pose interactive questions to workers throughout presentations to check for understanding and mastery, monitor employee learning curves, and instantly address the areas which you believe need further explanation. You can also use the software to test for understanding by the use of mass applied critical thinking questions, which would otherwise be difficult or inconvenient in a conventional training approach.
OTI wireless response technology helps in the processes of administering interactive surveys and Level 1 "smile sheets" as well. You can measure knowledge transfer on the learning objectives deemed most important to your company. Your workers will be more attentive, alert, and receptive to the crucial safety training information that will in turn effectively safeguard you and your employees from dangers and liabilities in the workplace.
