Highways England E-learning
Transforming Highways England's existing visual health and safety standards into highly engaging e-learning modules, helping a 5,000-strong workforce identify knowledge gaps and reinforce critical controls.
Companies typically invest a significant amount of time and money into developing their health and safety strategy. However, effectively communicating and implementing critical controls and processes from executive level through to workers on site can be challenging.
Jincom's creative team has 15 years of experience transforming companies' technical standards and complex documents into visual HSE tools. In recent years, Jincom has developed its offering by adding video, animations and e-learning to its suite of products and services.
By simplifying, visualising and digitising critical procedures and controls, teams can prepare for potential risks and hazards before they begin work on site. E-learning is a highly effective method that encourages and reinforces independent learning.
Jincom completed two e-learning courses for Highways England: one on Confined Spaces and the second on Incident Investigation and Reporting. Highways England is a government-owned company with around 5,000 employees responsible for operating, maintaining and improving England's motorways and major A roads.
Having previously worked with Highways England to redevelop its Health, Safety and Wellbeing Management System — simplifying and visualising policy, arrangements, standards, procedures and supporting documents across 40 topics — transforming those documents into e-learning modules was the natural next step.
We have recently developed two e-learning courses with Jincom where they converted various health, safety and wellbeing standards (which they previously developed for us), into highly engaging e-learning courses. As content from our existing standards was used to create the courses, the development process was quite simple and cost effective. The courses have proven to be valuable training tools and have been very well received by our people, so much so that we are now in the process of converting other standards into more courses.
Two-part module structure
- Part 1 — Learning: a summary of Key Messages followed by a 2D motion graphics video explaining the topic using visuals and voice-over.
- Part 2 — Knowledge: 15 multiple choice questions with an 80% pass mark; learners can retake as many times as needed.
Confined Spaces module
The Confined Spaces module opens with a summary of Key Messages around working in a confined space. A 2D instruction video then explains the two defining features of a confined space and eight risk areas, sets out the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, and details Highways England's own safety procedures including a 5-step work instruction.
The knowledge section tests learners with 15 multiple choice questions on the information from the learning section. The e-learning modules are available on Highways England's Learner Management System, helping to onboard new employees and reinforce HSE messaging across the entire workforce.
