Safety training by e-learning

A safety e-learning module (a "lomda") is digital training the worker takes on their own — on a computer or a phone — instead of sitting in a classroom. It saves gathering every shift into one room, but to count as training it must meet the regulations, and the worker must understand it.

Israel's Organisation of Labour Inspection (Provision of Information and Training of Workers) Regulations, 1999, allow workers to be trained by e-learning too. The condition: the workplace's safety officer reviews the module and declares that it suits the workers, under regulation 3(a)(2).

The declaration is signed for every module and every workplace, and names:

  • The workplace
  • The training's topics
  • Who the training is for
  • How its effectiveness is tested — for example, comprehension questions during the module

A module the worker clicks through to the end trained nobody. A few things make the difference:

  • It fits the job — not one slide deck for everyone
  • It is in a language the worker reads, not only Hebrew
  • A question after every topic, with an explanation after the answer
  • Videos watched to the end before moving on
  • The worker's signature at the end, with a date and an expiry

In some jobs the training has a practical part too — operating equipment, for example. The module carries the knowledge, and the practice happens on site. In LomdaSafe a training can also require a practical sign-off, which the person responsible signs beside the work certificate.

  • Ready modules by job, on the worker's phone, with nothing to install.
  • Nine languages, and every worker chooses their own.
  • A question after every topic, and a video watched to the end before moving on.
  • The safety officer's declaration comes ready with the training's topics and comprehension questions, and is signed on screen.
  • A signed work certificate for every worker, and a picture of the whole plant.
