Deploying Hindi E-Learning Modules to Standardize Safety Culture for a Global Fiber Composites Manufacturer
-
The Premise
Ahlstrom-Munksjö, a global manufacturer of sustainable fiber-based materials, operates its SEZ unit in Mundra, Gujarat. With a strong emphasis on worker safety and compliance, the company identified the need to enhance their internal training through digitally-delivered safety content, ensuring language accessibility and daily tracking of learner progress.
To enable this transformation, they partnered with CORE-EHS to develop a comprehensive e-learning solution featuring 10 customized safety courses, fully delivered in Hindi, with an integrated tracking dashboard.
-
The Challenges
Despite having a committed EHS culture, Ahlstrom-Munksjö faced the following training hurdles:
- The workforce included a significant percentage of non-English-speaking employees, leading to gaps in understanding technical safety protocols.
- Training programs lacked standardization and digital traceability, limiting the ability to monitor course completion and performance.
- Managers had to rely on manual or verbal safety sessions, which resulted in training inconsistencies across shifts and departments.
- Compliance audits highlighted the need for documented and trackable learning paths, especially for recurring safety themes.
To address this, they sought a low-maintenance, high-impact e-learning framework, with content localized in Hindi.
-
The Solution
CORE-EHS developed and delivered a custom e-learning module comprising 10 safety training courses, fully narrated and scripted in Hindi, with backend reporting capabilities.
Key Deliverables:
- 10 Topic-Specific Courses, including:
- Electrical Safety
- Fall Protection / Work at Height
- Machine Guarding & Operator Safety
- LOTOTO
- Confined Space Risk Management
- Accident Investigation & Prevention
- Power Industrial Vehicles (PIV)
- Warehouse Safety
- Defensive Driving Techniques
- Flammable Gas Storage & Handling
- Hindi language narration for full workforce engagement.
- Integration of a centralized dashboard for daily tracking and reporting.
- One admin login with 100 user credentials and monthly reporting for internal audit use.
- Subscription model with 6-month validity, allowing repeated access and reinforcement learning.
-
Resulting Benefits
Within weeks of deployment, the Ahlstrom-Munksjö EHS team began observing measurable improvements in training impact:
- Course completion rates reached 92% within the first 45 days of rollout.
- Training delivery time reduced by 51%, freeing up EHS personnel for other initiatives.
- Safety incident awareness improved by 60%, especially in areas like confined space and forklift operation.
- Audit readiness achieved 100%, with downloadable monthly training reports backed by timestamps and user metrics.
- Positive feedback from users: Over 85% found the Hindi modules easier to follow, especially in technical topics.
The project successfully brought language inclusivity and process automation into Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s safety training culture—establishing a scalable model for future digital learning initiatives.
