“The caliber of the work this season coming from creators such as Vector Solutions truly has reflected the theme of breaking out and standing out,” said Telly’s Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “Our industry is experimenting with new technologies like never before, crafting truly compelling stories to draw attention to some of the world’s most pressing issues, and companies big and small are turning to more sustainable practices to break the cycle of past production processes. 

Vector Solutions is committed to leveraging the latest technologies in learning development with innovative approaches to drive knowledge retention. “When HSE training is grounded in real situations pulled from the headlines, it’s much more resonant and memorable than traditional, dry instruction on following safety protocols,” Michael Odjana explained. “That’s why Vector Solutions developed our award-winning microlearning courses based on real situations to show how failing to comply with safety procedures can have devastating outcomes for teams. These courses explore how these measures offer critical protection and security for employees and their co-workers on job sites to help drive home the importance of workplace safety in an emotionally impactful way.” 

Our safety case study courses are based on real situations and demonstrate how failure to comply with safety procedures can have devastating outcomes. Rather than focusing on standard instruction on how to comply with safety measures, these courses go a step further to ensure the learner is gaining knowledge on how these measures offer protection and security for them and their co-workers to further emphasize the importance of maintaining a safe working environment.

Driving While Tired 

  • Silver Award for “Craft-Use of Animation” 
  • Bronze Award for “General Health and Safety 

Course Description 

Commercial vehicles can easily weigh up to 80,000 lbs. and carry with them enough force to crush a car in less than a second. Driving while tired puts not only drivers but also passengers and other people on the road in danger. Following drive time limits and taking breaks is essential to being alert and safe when driving. In this real-world scenario, learners discover how one driver experienced firsthand what can happen when you try to drive past your limit. 

RiggingComponents

Inspecting Rigging Components 

  • Silver Award for “Craft-Use of Animation” 
  • Silver Award for “General Health and Safety” 

Course Description 

When it comes to construction sites, rigging plays an undeniable role since lifting and moving heavy materials is a critical operation in this industry. Unfortunately, rigging accidents are often the consequence of avoidable human error. To mitigate risks, riggers are responsible for inspecting and selecting appropriate, reliable, and necessary rigging components, including slings, hardware, and protectors. In this short scenario, learners see how one worker’s inattentive actions may have contributed to a death on a jobsite that could have been prevented with proper inspection of rigging components before use. 

Improve Outcomes and Prioritize Safety with Vector Microlearning 

Vector’s award-winning microlearning courses, averaging 5 minutes each, provide your workforce with the ability to enhance safety knowledge and retain skills — perfect for in-the-moment refresher training.  

A recent article in The HR Director, cited that microlearning improves focus and supports long-term retention by up to 80 percent. Microlearning eliminates the need for lengthy training sessions and reduces the amount of time and resources required for mastering a topic. When bite-sized, mobile-friendly learning content is easily and readily accessible, learners can take a course at their own pace, wherever they are, and most importantly, whenever they need to refresh their memory of a topic or procedure.  

Further, according to a Training Industry report, microlearning can be particularly effective for safety compliance training, where it can increase employee engagement and knowledge retention rates. Learner disengagement and boredom can crush a training program’s chances for success.  

With typical compliance training, topics aren’t usually emotionally-centered, making it harder for workers to engage with the material and get the full benefit. Employees typically memorize the guidelines, but the information usually fades over time, especially if they don’t have to apply the policies on a daily basis.  

When employees have the ability to quickly pull up a short, 5-minute refresher course and fully grasp the impact that adhering to safety has on helping themselves and their team members return home safely at the end of a shift, organizations achieve better training outcomes and a safer workplace.
