The 6-Point
Safety+Literacy Audit

Allen Learnimy®

Ready to see if your training is truly safe? Audit your training using 3 quick steps!

1. Grab Your Training Material
Pick a company manual or slide deck that your team finds confusing or hard to follow.

2. Learn to Identify the Training Gaps
Read each question. Does that audit issue show up in your training?

  • ✅ If YES, check the box on the right.
  • ➡️ If NO, skip it and move to the next audit question!

3. Get Your Audit Results
Once you’re done, click "Finish and Calculate Score" to see if the training is clear and easy to understand.

1. The "Wall of Text" Check

Open your most critical safety training or company manual. Is there any page with more than 3 consecutive sentences without a visual aid?

RISK: Employees with low literacy will often "skim" or skip these sections entirely.
FIX: Break the text into "Action-Result" pairings with icons.

2. The ISO/ANSI Pictogram Check

Are you using emojis for hazards like "High Voltage" or "Corrosive" instead of ISO 7010 or ANSI Z535 safety symbols?

RISK: Custom-made icons can be misinterpreted. Standardized symbols are a "universal language."
FIX: Replace emojis or text-heavy warning signs with bold, industry-standard pictograms.

3. The "Say-Back" Verification

Does your training end with a written multiple-choice quiz?

RISK: Workers can guess patterns without understanding the content.
FIX: Implement a "Show Me" or "Tell Me" assessment where the worker physically demonstrates each step.
PPE

4. Jargon & Acronym Clearance

Are there acronyms (e.g., LOTO, PPE, MSDS) listed without a picture of the object they represent?

RISK: Acronyms are "invisible" to non-readers. They see a string of letters that don't trigger a memory.
FIX: Always pair acronyms with an image of the object.

5. Visual Contrast and "Color-Coding" Cues

Do your critical "STOP" or "DANGER" warnings look the same as your "GENERAL INFO" text?

RISK: Without visual hierarchy, critical warnings get lost in the noise of general company policy.
FIX: Use color-coding (e.g., Red for Danger, Yellow for Caution, Green for Safety/Go) consistently throughout company training.

6. Feedback Loop Accessibility

Do workers have to fill out a long written form to report a near-miss?

RISK: Workers who struggle with writing will avoid reporting hazards to hide their literacy level.
FIX: Provide a "Photo-First" or "Speech-to-Text" reporting system or a 60-second verbal check-in with a supervisor.
