Wishing to update and optimize its digital training module relating to “Fire Safety” – training renewed every two years by its employees – Generali France has chosen to collaborate with AUDACE. The initiative aims to raise awareness of fire risks and related safety procedures, with a particular focus on the role of First Response Team members.
Device
This training was designed to simplify a complex subject and make it accessible to all learners. It immerses participants in a virtual environment inspired by Generali premises. This element promotes their immersion and understanding of situations related to fire safety.
Concrete scenarios and real elements integrated into the program facilitate the assimilation of knowledge. For example, learners will be able to observe a fire starting from objects actually present in their premises.
Content
This training module offers comprehensive educational content. It covers in detail the essential aspects of Fire Safety. Thus, the training, lasting 20 minutes, takes place in several clear stages, in particular:
- Introduction
- Fire Safety: This section explores in depth the fundamental aspects, such as the fire triangle, the phases of a fire, the effects of combustion gases and prevention measures.
- Evacuation: Learners are guided through the crucial steps of company evacuation, the role of each employee, reading evacuation plans, specific instructions, and special considerations for employees with disabilities.
- Final assessment quiz
- Conclusion
Target
This module is aimed at all Generali employees, with particular emphasis on First Response Team members.
Technical solution
The training module consists of 15 to 17 screens, each lasting a maximum of 1 minute 30 minutes. Learners also have the option to save their progress and resume training at any time.
Pedagogical objectives
The objective is to strengthen fire safety within Generali by raising employee awareness of potential risks. It also aims to standardize the training of all staff while integrating specific elements for First Intervention Team members.
More concretely, it allows learners to:
- Identify the nature of the fire, its triggering modes and its phases
- Recognize types of fire and appropriate extinguishing media
- Understanding the spread of fire and its consequences
- Know alert procedures and emergency call numbers
- Know how to evacuate safely
- Recognize assembly points
- Adopt appropriate behavior in the event of a fire
Digital training pedagogy
This elearning program adopts a participatory approach. Interactive and visual elements, multiple choice quizzes (MCQs) and drag-and-drop activities encourage participant engagement. The module is designed to promote knowledge retention in an effective and dynamic manner.
In addition, a voice-over guides learners throughout the module by animating the digital landscape.
Game mechanics
Finally, the main asset of the digital training is the settings directly inspired by Generali’s premises. Learners thus find themselves in a familiar environment. They then benefit from a deeper understanding of situations related to fire safety. They can, for example, observe a fire starting from objects actually present in their premises.
