Training Compliance

Training is an essential requirement of workplace regulations around the world; for instance, a broad range of OSHA standards contain specific language on what is considered effective training. Often, training is the first thing an investigator will look into following a workplace incident, which is one reason keeping accurate and up-to-date training records is key. Of course, more important than avoiding fines and penalties is protecting employees, and through it, the health of the organization. The benefits of technology in meeting training compliance include:

• A more skilled, productive, and engaged workforce
• The ability to verify training in real time across locations
• Expansive library of on-demand training modules
• Reduction in time spent on inefficient and repetitive manual tasks
• More time to focus on other critical EHS tasks

VelocityEHS Training & Learning module, part of the Safety Solution, gives you the tools you need to easily schedule, deploy, verify and document training across your entire organization through a cloud based system. Additionally, built-in email notifications remind employees and managers when training deadlines and certification dates are upcoming or past due to ensure all training requirements are being met on time. Our training tools also give you the resources to quickly and easily demonstrate compliance with your regulatory training obligations. The ability to rapidly deploy training on the fly is a growing necessity given the increase in the number of temporary and contract workers in use today, the responsibility for training, OSHA says, falls as much on the hiring party as it does on the agency supplying the labor.
