Centralised Chemical System

Project Overview

This module provides a comprehensive guide to safely managing the chemicals dispensed from a centralised system within a food manufacturing environment. It ensures that processing areas and machinery are effectively cleaned, eliminating meat residues and bacteria to ensure workplace safety and compliance with industry regulations.

Project Details

The course is divided into three core sections, each focusing on critical safety practices related to chemical handling in cleaning processes:

Core Sections
  • Keeping Safe: This section lays the groundwork for executing cleaning procedures safely, focusing on essential safety measures like the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe handling techniques.
  • Handling Chemicals: This section takes trainees through the chemical identification process, highlighting the proper use of PPE and outlining crucial steps to take in case of chemical exposure to the eyes or skin. Trainees learn about the nature, application, and benefits of the chemicals used.
  • Storage: This section covers the correct storage of chemicals and the cleaning of PPE, emphasising responsible and safe practices to prevent contamination and accidents.
Learning Objectives
  • Identify and correctly use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling chemicals.
  • Follow safe procedures for handling and storing chemicals, minimising the risk of accidents and exposure.
  • Understand the properties and applications of various chemicals used in the centralised system.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of emergency procedures in case of chemical spills or exposure.

The module concludes with a knowledge assessment designed to reinforce learning and ensure comprehension, using diverse question formats to gauge trainee understanding effectively.

Development
Team and Collaboration

The project involved a collaborative effort between e-learning developers, instructional designers, and subject matter experts. I worked closely with team members to ensure the successful development and delivery of the module.

Key Responsibilities
  • E-Learning Development: Built the interactive learning experience using Storyline 360.
  • Multimedia: Designed and developed digital content including graphics, animations, audio, and video.
  • Validation: Ensured all content aligned with safety standards and established learning objectives.
  • Evaluation: Developed quizzes, tests, and assessments to measure learner comprehension.
  • Optimisation: Gathered and incorporated feedback from learners and stakeholders to improve the module's effectiveness.
Challenges

A key challenge in developing the module was aligning its technical aspects with the rigorous safety standards of the food manufacturing industry. This required meticulous attention to detail, thorough documentation review, and strict adherence to compliance protocols. Additionally, ensuring that the content was engaging and accessible to learners with varying levels of technical proficiency required some consideration. To address this, we prioritised clear and concise language complemented by visual aids and interactive elements to enhance understanding.
