Introducing Flex Learning

SEA Introduces Flex-Learning

To say that 2020 was a challenging year may be the understatement of the decade. The way we socialized, work, and especially training/learning was set on new pathways.

THE CHALLENGE

For any company, coordinating a successful training event is always a vast undertaking. For a participant to truly learn, they must first be willing to engage in the subject. And for them to engage in the subject, they must be active in the learning process. Studies have shown that what adults recall in the learning process depends on how active a person is in the training. “People remember 90 percent of what they say and do as opposed to 30 percent of what they see and hear. Although kinesthetic learners retain best, they make up only 5 percent of the population whereas visual learners make up 65 percent and auditory learners, 30 percent.” (Mind Tools 1998)


Now couple that knowledge with the fact that the Pandemic has limited our ability to interact in training, so the next viable solution is online training. This sounds good on the surface but in fact, online learning through generic web-based classes is showing to have a nearly 300% increase in failure and retention is down nearly 70%. (Department of Education 2020). Just ask any parent of a virtual learner during the pandemic.



One of the reasons that adults struggle with this learning format is because the presentation is GENERIC and is less meaningful to them.

THE SOLUTION

By introducing SEA’s “Flex-Learning”; SEA’s has taken ordinary web-based training to new levels of comprehension. “The goal was to use the convenience of web-based training but customize the presentation and break it up into smaller chunks or micro-learning segments, then evaluate the learners' ability to comprehend the concepts.” So, the SEA team explored numerous training techniques and presentation concepts and developed what we call Flex-Learning. A web-based convenient online presentation that is customized for your companies based on your safety, environmental, or specific needs. 



So you are thinking “That sounds expensive” but in fact, we were surprised how little effort it took to take a “Generic” training program and make it site-specific for an individual company.

California Tightens Lead Exposure Limits: What Employers Need to Know
By Derek Jennings February 10, 2025
Each year, as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) releases its list of the top 10 workplace safety violations, a pattern emerges that begs a question: Are these frequent violations a sign that employers continue to struggle with the same safety issues, or does it reflect a disposition among OSHA inspectors to focus on areas where they are trained to focus? The Persistent Issue of Repeated Findings The repetition of certain violations year after year might seem surprising, but it underscores a significant challenge in workplace safety management. The top violations tend to be those that are most visible and easiest to spot during inspections, such as fall protection and hazard communication. This consistency suggests that while awareness is high, practical implementation and adherence to safety practices lag behind. Top 10 Most Cited Health and Safety Standards of 2024 1. . Fall Protection, General Requirements: 6,307 violations For the 14th consecutive year, fall protection tops the list of OSHA's enforcement priorities. This emphasis is not arbitrary; OSHA has designated fall protection as a national emphasis area, making it a primary focus during inspections. It's often one of the easiest violations to spot without extensive investigation skills. The OSHA standard 1926.501 mandates that employers must provide fall protection systems like guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems for workers at risk of falls of six feet or more in construction and four feet in general industry. Often, the major factor in these violations is human behavior. Many offenders might think, "No one is watching, and this will only take a moment, so it's no big deal." However, this mindset can lead to non-compliance with critical safety measures, putting worker safety at significant risk.
