To educators in pharmaceutical manufacturing: Identifying the dangers of newcomers by color and methods of education.
Manufacturing Industry New Employee Training: Safety Education Video - Cultivating a Culture of Choosing Meaning Over Color
"That pink liquid is that one." "I thought it would be fine to use the yellow bottle." Have you ever felt uneasy about such statements from newcomers? ● They remember chemicals by "color and appearance" and do not look at labels or product names. ● They mistakenly use similar-looking chemicals, leading to near-miss reaction accidents. ● They rely too much on the experience of "that's how we've always done it." This stems from a lack of thorough education in the field that emphasizes "do not identify chemicals by color or shape." Misuse of chemicals can occur from "just one judgment error," which can lead to major accidents. To reduce that risk, it is essential to implement education that emphasizes "confirming" rather than just "memorizing." At LinkStudio, we offer numerous video training materials aimed at reducing the risks of chemical misidentification and mix-ups, as well as promoting confirmation behaviors in the workplace. Why not approach this fundamental issue of "mistakes happen precisely because they look similar" through video education? *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
basic information
Proposal for Solutions | Education to Experience "Why You Shouldn't Rely on Color for Memory" Through Visuals In pharmaceutical management, "strict identification" is crucial. To achieve this, it is necessary to provide education that "visually convinces" the dangers of relying on color and container impressions. ● Create scenarios based on the "results of misuse" using similar-colored pharmaceuticals. ● Reproduce incidents that occurred due to neglecting label verification through visuals. ● Clearly differentiate between "relying on memory" and "confirming." This will help instill the awareness that "remembering by color = risk of accidents."

Introduction Steps | How to Establish an Educational System to Eliminate "Color-Dependent Identification" STEP 1 | Identify the causes of past misplacements and misuse, and confirm the presence of behaviors relying on color and shape. We will clarify the "unconscious rules" that are often overlooked on-site. STEP 2 | Create reproducible teaching materials using chemicals or containers with similar colors. The key is to visualize the "unnoticed dangers." STEP 3 | Incorporate videos into training, on-the-job training (OJT), and pre-work reminders for repetitive learning. Education should not be a one-time event but should be integrated as "regular confirmation."

Introduction of Success Stories | Reducing the Frequency of Near-Misses to 1/4 through "Preventive Education" Against Incorrect Inputs In a chemical manufacturing plant, accidents due to the mix-up of containers with similar shapes and colors were repeatedly occurring. While traditional education conveyed the message to "double-check," the reason for the necessity of verification remained vague. To address this, simulation videos were introduced to illustrate the confusion that could arise from mixing up chemicals with similar colors and container shapes. As a result of switching to education that visually demonstrated the risks of incorrect reactions with actual chemicals: ● The behavior of handling chemicals without checking labels significantly decreased. ● There was an increase in new employees asking, "Is it okay to use this chemical after confirming?" ● A culture was fostered where even veteran workers would reaffirm the rules. The behavior of "seeing → knowing → confirming" has become a natural practice for newcomers.
