Safety training is crucial in today's workplace, particularly for high-risk industries. Traditional methods can feel disconnected from day-to-day operations, so we've introduced the innovative Pick'n'Mix workshops. This flexible approach allows organisations to tailor training to their unique needs, ensuring it remains engaging and relevant.
We'll explore the concept behind these workshops, their benefits, and how they help build a resilient safety culture. We'll also examine how collaboration ensures these workshops are more than just informative – they're transformative for your teams.
What are Pick'n'Mix workshops?
Pick'n'Mix workshops allow organisations to choose safety topics that suit their specific needs. Like selecting your favourite sweets in a shop, you can create a customised training programme. We offer 22 pre-designed topics, from basic safety principles to advanced leadership modules. Each session is roughly three hours, and you can select one or more to create a day's training or spread them across several days.
These workshops are ideal for teams with mixed experience levels, helping to address challenges like understanding risk and human factors contributing to incidents.
Flexible and practical delivery
One of the key strengths of Pick'n'Mix workshops is their flexibility. They can be delivered in various formats – virtual, on-site, or over several weeks for continuous learning. This allows teams to upskill without disrupting daily operations, especially in high-hazard industries where extended time away from work is impractical.
Workshops can be tailored to fit operational schedules, and participants have access to our learning hub for a month after the session, ensuring continued engagement and learning.
Collaboration: Key to effective safety training
Effective safety training requires collaboration. Every organisation has challenges, so working together ensures that training is tailored to meet real-world needs. Throughout the training process, participants engage in discussions, share experiences, and learn from one another. This collaborative approach bridges gaps in understanding, creating cohesive teams working towards shared safety goals.
The benefits don't end when the workshop does. Conversations and insights gained during training continue to resonate, keeping safety in mind long after the session concludes.
Building a resilient safety culture
Safety training is about more than compliance – it's about embedding safety into your organisation's culture. Our Pick'n'Mix workshops aim to provide the tools to do just that, with practical knowledge and communication skills that help cultivate a safety-first mindset.
Workshops such as "The Language of Risk" and "Better Conversations for Safety" tackle these challenges head-on, giving participants the confidence to have meaningful safety discussions and intervene when necessary.
The continuity of learning through our hub helps reinforce the behaviours and attitudes necessary for building a strong safety culture.
