Charles Gould at Learning Live 2014: Total learning: learn faster, work smart...Brightwave Group
Total learning: learn faster, work smarter with four systems in one
We know that up to 90% of learning takes place outside formal training or e-learning, with the majority of learning coming from casual interactions with our colleagues and peers, or from purely informal, self-directed learning. But the learning industry is still struggling to develop innovative systems that integrate with how people learn today.
In this session Charles explores how a 'total learning' approach meets not only the needs of today's learners, but, crucially, how it can deliver real value for forward-thinking organisations. Charles demonstrates how Brightwave's total learning system – tessello – provides an environment that allows L&D teams to improve productivity, generate value and transform their position in the business.
The session explores:
● How technology that uses the Tin Can API delivers an enhanced learning environment – putting learners in control of their own learning and allowing them to record a wide range of online and offline learning (including informal) experiences
● How informal and social learning works alongside formal learning resources – without the need for a separate platform
● How powerful analytics provide rich insight into how learning is being experienced and applied – helping organisations make informed decisions to improve learning and ensuring it remains relevant and business focussed
● How to keep your best people engaged and in the organisation – providing learners with an environment that allows them to find information they need and when they need it, as well as connecting them to other experts across organisational silos, boosting engagement and so reducing staff attrition
● How improving the performance of your people, by helping them learn faster and smarter, boosts the performance of the organisation.

Sharpest tool in the box: Choosing the right authoring tool for your learning...Brightwave Group
From rapid and responsive, to video and cross-browser capability we, as learning professionals, demand great things from the authoring tools available to us. And there are many to choose from.
This session explored the key factors we recommend you consider when choosing an authoring tool. These vary according to environment and culture, to the needs of your learners and the objectives of the learning. Choosing the right authoring tool and ensuring it is based on your needs ensures your learning content is not simply fit for purpose, but meets the aims of your wider learning strategy. With plenty of examples from real courses and solutions, the session covered a list of questions you need to ask, and provided a framework to help guide you through the tool-selection process.
● Great expectations - why the right authoring tool is the foundation of quality learning content.
● Key considerations - the right questions to evaluate the range of tools and make the right decision.
● The future - what can we expect from the next generation of authoring tools?

What is safety? How can employers and employees ensure safety in the workplace? Read on for the definition of safety according to OSHA, and everything it entails.
Reasons It's Important You Use PPE in the Workplace.pdfJohnson Trading
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is equipment worn to reduce exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses. Chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards may cause these injuries and illnesses.
WHAT? Within our industry the personal health effects of noise and vibration are well known and should now be embedded in your Company Health and safety arrangements. Construction industry is one of the leading sources of noise complaints made to Local Authorities. Something is considered ‘noisy’ when the sound is unwanted by the listener. Noise and vibration emissions can disturb local residents and give rise to complaints and delays.
Silo explodes at ready-mix plant...The top (cap) of the silo was thrown into the air, across a road, landing in an adjacent property. Fortunately, no injuries occurred as a result of this incident.
Dust and emissions, such as the recent publicity in the national press relating to the health hazards of particulates in diesel powered vehicles exhaust emissions, can cause health risks and odours at high concentrations may annoy neighbours and those affected by our activities.
Oxygen is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas and makes up to 21% of the air we breathe, it has a relative density of 1.1 which means it is slightly heavier than air.
Oils, greases, solvents and PTFE tape may react violently with oxygen. You should never use oil or grease to lubricate oxygen or oxygen enriched equipment as they can spontaneously burn with explosive violence.
Lifting and rigging operations are some of the most hazardous activities we regularly undertake, day in day out. The consequences of something going wrong during a lifting or rigging operation can literally be fatal.
TOOLBOX TALK | safe use of lift trucks and telehandlersAlan Bassett
Lift trucks are widely used throughout industry for moving materials and goods, but they also feature prominently in workplace accidents. Even an incident not causing injury may result in costly damage to lift trucks, buildings, fittings and the goods being handled.
Last year in the UK 40 people died and nearly 43,000 reported non fatal injuries as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of major injury to employees, accounting for around 15% of all such injuries...
During December the monthly average number of fires, injuries and fatalities more than doubles in households across the UK.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. This is an issue that is affecting our employees,
your colleagues.
Many of our incidents are directly related to
spatial awareness.
A comprehensive risk assessment and a sound
awareness of the working environment around us,
should be all that we need to ensure that these
types of injuries are preventable.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 3
4. A number of your work colleagues have sustained injuries due to incidents related
to spatial awareness. To put this into context, here are a just a few examples:
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 4
5. Spatial awareness is, very simply, our ability to create
an organised understanding of the environment around
us, while also recognising our body’s position within this
environment.
Without this awareness we would not be able to perform
even the simplest of tasks – such as climbing the stairs or
crossing the road safely without incident.
Deficiencies in spatial awareness can have a direct
impact on our safety, all it takes is a misplaced foot or
hand! taking your eye off the job for you to lose contact
or sight of the environment around you.
Spatial awareness is therefore a key component in
preserving our safety and wellbeing.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 5
6. WHAT CAN WE DO?
Be sense-able. Our senses ensure that we receive and process accurate
information about the environment around us.
This helps us to function safely when completing day-to-day activities.
If our senses are impaired or obscured in any
way, this can directly impact our accuracy with
regards to spatial awareness.
There are some simple steps that you can take
to maintain spatial awareness and avoid
unnecessary injury or harm.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 6
7. Our ears have two functions – hearing and balance.
The ear contains three canals that act like spirit levels in our brains.
When we move our heads, fluid is disturbed which tells our brains what
direction, speed and distance the head has moved.
We’ve all experienced this at some point in our
lives, whether it be dizziness after standing up
too quickly - trying to walk after getting off of a
moving treadmill or suffering from motion
sickness when travelling on rough seas.
Even subtle movements can be enough to challenge
our body’s balance system and cause errors of
judgement with regards to spatial awareness.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 7
8. There are a number of factors that can influence our balance:
PPE – Poorly fitted ear plugs have the potential to affect your
balance. Take time to fit these correctly and with care.
Medication – whether it’s prescribed or over-the-counter, all
medication should be reported to your site Supervisor / line Manager.
Medical conditions – Always inform your line Manager if there has
been any change to your health, even if this has occurred outside of
work the environment, as some medical conditions and medications can
affect your balance.
Drugs and alcohol – We all operate a strict no drugs or
alcohol policy in the workplace.
If you suspect that someone has breached this, you must
report this to your supervisor immediately.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 8
9. Touch allows us to sense movement within our environment.
It also helps us to recognise where parts of our body are without
having to look.
Receptors in our joints, muscles and ligaments
automatically sense pressure or stretch and they
pass this information on to our brain.
This helps us to move accurately and maintain
stability throughout the body.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 9
10. Mitigate against trip hazards - by holding handrails on stairways, and always
keep an eye on where you are placing your feet - especially when going up
and down steps and ladders.
Always maintain good housekeeping so that the risk of trip hazards are kept to
a minimum.
Always take one step at a time - when ascending and descending steps
and ladders – twisted ankles from slips and trips are common accidents
that can be avoided by staying alert and taking your time.
Where possible watch where you are placing your feet and never rush.
Uneven walkways - gratings, ladders and hidden trip hazards are common features
in many workplaces. Make sure you keep your eyes open for hazards.
Avoid distractions from colleagues whilst operating machinery and while moving
around the workplace.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 10
11. It’s easy to appreciate the importance of vision to our balance
we only have to close our eyes and we will feel an immediate change
in our ability to stay upright.
Our eyes tell us how our body is orientated
in its environment; they assist the touch
receptors located in the joints and muscles
which helps us to maintain our balance.
Even a familiar environment can become
challenging if our vision is impaired.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 11
12. Walk - through your work site prior to commencing tasks,
so that you can identify and remove any potential hazards.
Keep - your work area clear and tidy at all times. Good housekeeping
is one of your best defences against slips, trips and falls.
Take - extra care - when working in poorly lit areas or direct
sunlight. Extremes in lighting can obscure and challenge your
perception of the environment around you.
PPE - is vital for your protection, but be aware that it can, at times,
obscure your field of vision. Take time to ensure that your safety glasses
are clean, and familiarise yourself with your work environment to prevent
bumps and trips.
Don’t - take your eye off the job. Watch where you
place your hands and feet and avoid distractions.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 12
13. PPE plays a vital role as your last line of defence.
However, it is worth taking extra care when working in an
environment where you are wearing full PPE.
As any change to your senses may affect your ability to
accurately interpret the environment around you.
Although the benefits of PPE considerably outweigh
the potential risks that it poses to spatial awareness.
We must be aware that PPE has the potential to
influence sensory information from the environment
around us.
It is imperative that we use the correct PPE and wear
correctly.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 13
14. Staying alert and using the body’s senses to identify hazards is one of the most
effective risk assessments that we can adopt in order to keep ourselves safe.
Using this sense-able approach and keeping your eye on the job
is all it takes to prevent most spatial awareness incidents from occurring.
A high proportion of slips, trips and falls occur when we’re moving
around from one place to another on site, or whilst we’re relaxing.
This could be because we are at increased risk of complacency to
common hazards when we’re relaxing or moving around.
So our message is; this campaign is as relevant to your personal life as it is
to your working day.
Switch on while you’re switched off and let’s improve safety, both personal
and work-related together!
One of the biggest risks we face in the workplace is complacency.
Fabricom Spatial Awareness NESHEP 14
We looked at all our incidents over the last couple of years and found that most were caused by the persons “a lack of awareness of the environment around them” so we put this short session together to highlight the problem and to get people to be more aware of their surroundings in the workplace.
Sub-Contractor was walking underneath the scaffold goalpost and subsequently collided with the scaffold tube. The impact of the collision caused him to fall to the ground and jarring his neck.
IP was carrying out standby entry duties for on-going work inside the direct cooler vessel. Close to the manway entrance to the vessel, there is a raised scaffold board, which is an infill board around the manway branch, During work activities the IP stepped onto the edge of the board and turned his ankle.
IP was nipping up a bolt with a flogging spanner and a 4lb hammer. The area was relatively congested and there was a scaffolding standard in close proximity. The IP went to strike the spanner. – resulting in the hammer deflecting off the scaffold clip which changed the direction of the hammer away from the spanner onto this left hand.
IP was walking to his place of work, He walked between a scaffolding handrail and scaffolding stillage which was half full of scaffolding tubes. He turned to walk to his work area and tripped over a protruding scaffold tube and fell to the floor.
This incident happened when the IP was removing this overalls and as the employee bent over he caught his head on the toilet roll holder – resulting in a small cut to the head.
IP was using a 5” grinder with a flapping disc on a scaffold platform. The task involved the prepping 8” pipework that was sitting in a pipe stand. Upon finishing the task the employee took his finger of the trigger, took his hand off the handle with the intention of placing the grinder down on the scaffold platform. The grinder then came into contact with the pipe whilst the disc was still rotating from its operation; this then deflected up-over into the path of the IP’s left hand. Resulting in 2 stitches.
Spatial awareness requires us to have perception and understanding of the three dimensional space around us. We achieve this by processing information that we receive from all of our senses.
Firstly we can listen up.
So our Listen up – Action Plan
Well there are a number of factors that can influence our balance
