Inside the multilingual safety event at Ingram Micro Straubing and the training concept behind it.

We had more than 25 nationalities and roughly 500 colleagues in the warehouse—but no standardized training tool beyond paper and manual briefings.

What changed

From one-to-one briefings to a system that scales.

Since 2019, Ingram Micro and how.fm have developed software-supported programs that work for new starters, returning workers, and recurring safety requirements.

Continuous training

A consistent first-day experience plus recurring refreshers for permanent and temporary workers.

Compliance monitoring

Quizzes, certificates, and completion records replace signatures scattered across paper folders.

Every nationality included

A growing course library gives colleagues access to training in the language they understand best.

Stronger safety awareness

Clear explanations connect each rule to its purpose, helping teams reduce risk instead of memorizing instructions.

The I am Safe program

A global event became a practical, measurable course.

Ingram Micro Straubing is one of Europe’s largest technology logistics centers. Mandatory refreshers and temporary-worker inductions were still delivered manually, with printed folders and senior employees approached directly on the shop floor.

For “I am Safe” Day, Ingram Micro and how.fm designed a standardized 15-minute course covering fire safety, shop-floor rules, COVID-19 guidance, and vaccination information. Preloaded tablets made the program immediately accessible.

Understanding, not just attendance

The course translated automatically into more than 30 languages and used spoken guidance, short sequences, and quizzes. Workers could learn in their own language, understand why the rules mattered, and leave a digital completion record.

The result

More than 200 workers completed the program in under eight hours across more than five languages. The approach reduced stress for trainers, gave every colleague the same standard, and created a foundation that could be reused across locations.

Make safety training repeatable—not repetitive.

Give every worker a clear first day, every supervisor time back, and every site an audit-ready record.
