More and more resources are being allocated to safety training.
However, despite all of the efforts that have been made in the field of training in the broadest sense, there is little tangible evidence of real results in terms of safety.
Questions
How can we improve recruitment, and raise awareness of the importance of safety culture training in academic and university curricula (training for engineers, researchers, administrators, managers, HR)?
What are the theoretical support materials/frameworks? How have these theoretical and methodological frameworks evolved over the past 15 years?
An international comparative and critical analysis. How are these curricula perceived after a few years’ professional experience by the manager or the employee? What lessons can be drawn for the development of training courses and trainers to improve safety?
Regarding in-house training, how can we assess (not only its design, but its effectiveness and acceptance) by staff at all levels? What lessons can we draw from different practices (mentoring, e-learning)?
What lessons can be learned for the development of training courses and trainers?
The strategic analysis
The Foncsi conducted a strategic analysis on this subject between 2015 and 2018.
Methodology
Strategic analysis is a working methodology developed by the Foncsi. It aims to ensure high-level research over a particularly short period (18-24 months), and to establish a continuum of innovation between research and industry.
There are four key stages:
- The state of the art
- The international academic seminar
- Comparison with industrial practices
- The industrial seminar
