COMPLIANCE... without it, your safety program will fail.

How do we achieve compliance?

We use behavior based training that focuses on 'why people do the things that they do'.  Teaching someone the rules does not mean that they will follow them.  This leads to non-compliance and, despite your efforts to create a safe work environment; may continue to contribute to injuries and possible fines from local government agencies.  When we teach participants "the rules", we show them how the rules will benefit them by presenting it using the "What's In It For Me" principle.  Employees are then more likely to comply because they will BELIEVE that it is in their best interest to do so.

 

All of our safety training programs meet US and Canadian Occupational Health and Safety obligations.  They cover all of the topics that everyone else covers.  So why do we achieve such positive, lasting results?

ü We do not deliver 'canned' programs. 

ü Training is customized to the tasks performed and to your industry.

ü We incorporate behavioral sciences to appeal to individual values.

ü We show people the benefits of 'engaging the mind before the hand'.

ü Our programs are interactive and entertaining.

Ultimately, there is no magic formula.  Simply... we discuss the real issues faced in the workplace and how we are personally responsible for our own safety and that of our colleagues.  We encourage the group to look at how the safety culture in North America has improved and what our responsibilities are to continue this trend.   

Historically, "training" involved a classroom of participants and an instructor that simply read data from slides or out of a handbook.  We believe that this approach DOES NOT provide a positive learning environment and retention is limited; nor does it provide any value to the employer who invested in the training.  If your staff is "historically trained", you will receive documentation that the training is complete and there will be some information retained.  This, however, does not change the safety behavior or attitude of your staff nor does it address the specific needs that your company is facing.  

In order to achieve a truly significant safety improvement, Abstract Solutions begins by investigating the specific safety requirements of your company and the industry you operate in.  We review the codes and regulations specific to your business and customize a training program that addresses these needs.  We use interaction, humor, real world situations, a comfortable environment and participation to keep the entire class involved and actively learning.  We "facilitate" our classrooms through group activities and use behavioral techniques to achieve maximum buy-in. 

The result... participants will know and understand their safety obligations and you will note a significant improvement in individual behavior and attitude towards safety.
