In these days where we are already using technology, we have many options in use for us that play a huge role in self-help and development. The hard work that teaches new teachers how differentiated learning is and has been for a while shows its importance.

In safety, trainers need to figure out the best way to ascertain a plan of self-paced learning. Especially in EHS and OHS, to understand risks, it is mandatory to create an effective risk-management system that understands the qualitative distinctions that organizations face. The main pointers that organizations would face when they approach for learning and safety are –

• Understanding safety from a learner’s point of view
• Its usage to help them improve the business

Creating value for stakeholders via decisions that can affect a company’s product quality remains essential. Medium can be anything – whether be trainings or software etc. But first let us understand the type of risks that need to be assessed in order to alter a company’s strategy.

To be sure, companies should have a zone of tolerance for defects or errors that would not cause severe damage to the enterprise and for which achieving complete avoidance would be too costly. Self-paced learning for the employees would mean that they would be deciding the time at which they wish to learn – however, an organization should be ready with all the data for the same.

Such risks are best managed through active prevention – monitoring operational processes and guiding people’s behaviors and actions through appropriate trainings and software materials might help.

For managing learnings and trainings that involve strategy risks, one needs to have a risk-management system designed to reduce the probability that the assumed risks actually materialize and improve the company’s ability to manage or contain the risk events should they occur. Such a system would not stop companies from undertaking risky ventures – on the contrary, it would enable companies to take on higher-risk, higher-reward ventures than could competitors with less effective risk management.

Some risks arise from events outside the company and are beyond its influence or control. Sources of these risks include natural and political disasters and major macroeconomic shifts. External risks require yet another approach. Because companies cannot prevent such events from occurring, their management must focus on identification (they tend to be obvious in hindsight) and mitigation of their impact.

Companies should tailor their risk-management processes to these different categories. While a compliance-based approach is effective for managing preventable risks, it is wholly inadequate for strategy risks or external risks, which require a fundamentally different approach based on open and explicit risk discussions. That, however, is easier said than done; extensive behavioral and organizational research has shown that individuals have strong cognitive biases that discourage them from thinking about and discussing risk until it’s too late.

Helping employees and individuals in self-paced learnings mean that they undoubtedly have their learnings defined – they need to ensure that whatever is their essential requirement in terms of EHS and OHS, should be purportedly communicated for better transparency and increased clarity.
