Reflective learning is a great hit
PDO has piloted the new concept of reflective learning which vastly enhances the ability of people to retain knowledge from learning from our past HSE incidents. The response to the new method has been a resounding success and now the MSE team is busy designing the package of materials which will allow supervisors to deliver it to front line staff within the worksites. The concept is based on interaction and a questioning approach, making our brains work out what can go wrong in our own workplace rather than simply passively receiving information about an incident.

By questioning, debating and challanging the learnings and then assessing where each operation can suffer the same fate, and how best to avoid people locally suffering the same fate, people are engaged and are more likely to remember and then to live the learning from those less fortunate. The sessions so far have been energetic, lively and very noisy, but everyone attending has enjoyed them and felt they were worthwhile and definitely memorable... which is precisely what it is all about: remembering the message, tomorrow and in the future. |

PDO will be delivering 'train the trainer courses' so that focal points can cascade the initiative down through the management chain right to the people who are most at risk from the activities. To ensure maximimum efficiency we are currently devising a tailored plan for each individual directorate to roll out so keep your eyes and ears out for when the new concept lands at your worksite. We hope that it will make your learning from incidents a more engaging and enjoyable experience for you and everyone concerned. |
