Technology adoption a key focus at annual Training Providers’ Forum

The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council held its annual WSH Training Providers’ Forum on 10 February 2022. Aimed at driving awareness and adoption of technology amongst training providers, participants learnt of various online tools and how they can be used to enhance training through blended learning. Close to 200 participants attended the virtual event. 

In his opening address, Commissioner for Workplace Safety and Health, Mr Silas Sng, highlighted that online learning would continue to supplement in-person training in making WSH training more resilient and accessible to every worker. He urged training providers to continue to introduce innovations into WSH training through more pervasive adoption of technology, thus facilitating better assimilation and more effective learnings for the workforce.

Speakers from the Institute for Adult Learning Innovation Centre shared a diverse range of useful learning technologies, and how training providers can leverage them to enhance learning and improve learners’ attention span in both online and physical settings. 

A sharing by the Risk Management Code of Practice (RMCP) Review Committee on the latest enhancements to the RMCP highlighted key considerations for workplace preparedness against terrorism threats, disease outbreaks and staff mental well-being. Participants were given case examples to better their understanding and appreciation of these new topics.

The event saw a diverse range of useful learning technologies and grants that could help enhance WSH learning outcomes. Participants also got to hear about the Slips, Trips and Falls (STF) Campaign and how they could set their STF Resolutions to protect their workers.

The event ended with a Q&A session, where panellists and participants had a lively discussion.
