a good way to accomplish this task?
Managing and organizing training is also a lot of work for many managers. Understandably, the search for instruction software often leads to the desire for a solution system for complete occupational health and safety instruction management.
“Managing and organizing training is a lot of work for many managers!”
Companies usually want to be able to record directly when which employee must receive which instruction – regardless of whether this is done verbally or additionally as online instruction. In this context, many managers also want a tool that supports them with various tasks, is easy to use and also reminds them of upcoming deadlines in good time.
But that alone is not enough, because instruction software without instruction – i.e. without “content” – is of course not yet attractive enough for companies and managers. It is therefore desirable to be able to provide as comprehensive a portfolio of instructions as possible online.
Such training should also be as legally compliant and up-to-date as possible in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations, codes and standards. All instructions created by secova meet these standards and are regularly checked and legally updated. However, the mere transfer of knowledge is only part of the story.
“Anyone who wants to successfully complete an electronic training course must therefore really understand its content in order to be able to respond correctly.”
The other part revolves around the fact that a knowledge check, also known as a learning success check, must be included. Especially for electronic tools that offer online instruction, an effectiveness check is required by law (or rather, as part of the DGUV rules). However, how does one design these requirements really effectively?

a significant step further in this respect.
Sophisticated, clever test questions are an integral part of the complete training system. They range from single and multiple-choice text questions and cloze texts to picture and drag&drop questions. Of course, these are not only shown as a final test, but also at various points during and after the course. The questions are varied in a clever way, including in the case of repetition. If you want to successfully complete an electronic training course, you need to really understand its content in order to be able to respond correctly. Simply scrolling back and forth and selecting alternative answers “until it fits” is impossible.

Which employees actually need instruction?
In principle, every employee needs instruction
Being able to carry out training electronically with the sam® software offers employees numerous advantages. As the solution system is browser-based, all you need is a computer and an Internet connection. This eliminates the need for time and space constraints – everyone can decide for themselves when and where (within the specified time window) an assigned instruction is completed online.
“People with reading/writing difficulties can also receive online support with their training: A voice output can automatically read out the content on request – sam® is the first eLearning system on the market to offer this.”
According to the law, training must take place immediately before starting a new job and at least every twelve months thereafter. Supervisors and managers are responsible for ensuring that all their employees have demonstrably received and understood all the information and knowledge relevant to them. This means that each individual not only needs his/her own personal workplace-specific information, but must also be able to ask the relevant supervisor questions at any time.
And this is exactly where sam® scores again. All instructions in the company can be customized online, i.e. without programming knowledge, not only company-specific, but also workplace and activity-related. This is of course audit-proof and very easy. Even PowerPoint slides and almost any other type of media can be imported and integrated. This means that all conceivable media channels can be embedded and used.
But even if companies do not yet create their own content, the current instruction catalog already offers around 300 instructions online, some of them in different languages and legal areas. As the logging is also audit-proof – which is an extremely important factor, not only for online instructions – it is always ensured that all information stored in the integrated sam® database is always consistent.
“The decisive factor for the successful use of sam® in the company, however, is the extremely high level of acceptance among employees. This is mainly due to the ease of use of the software.”
Companies that rely on the sam® software for training are demonstrably improving their legal security.
The system is the ideal support for fulfilling the increasingly demanding obligations relating to occupational health and safety. It makes day-to-day work easier, reduces the time required and noticeably relieves the burden on the managers responsible. Thanks to real-time logging, statistical evaluations and a daily overview of the “state of play” are also possible at any time. And all this can be done quickly and easily with just a few mouse clicks. Positive additional effect: As the system involves and integrates every single employee, the important personal responsibility and awareness for safe working are also increased.
