Safety Training – Safe Workers are Good Workers
Health and Safety Management Software on Microsoft SharePoint
Training can be defined as learning that is provided in order to enhance ability for a specific job or task. It is an activity aimed at imparting information and/or instructions to improve an employee’s performance or to assist them in attaining a required level of knowledge or skill. For any organization, training needs must be identified at all times that are a reflection of the various processes, tasks and hazards in a given workplace. With that, training must be provided when and where necessary and on an ongoing basis. It is clearly essential that a sound awareness of health and safety principles and issues is vitally important for all employees who may be affected by an organisation’s processes and activities.
This awareness should extend to understanding the importance of conformance with the organization’s health and safety policy and with all procedures and works instructions that may be relevant to them and their work. It is also important that employees fully understand the significant health and safety hazards and risks to which they may be exposed. Only effective training that is task-specific and risk-relevant can achieve this.
But how can an organization’s safety management and human resources (HR) or human capital function keep abreast of the training needs and attendance of all employees, especially those who are particularly exposed to health and safety hazards? That can be a daunting task, both logistically and risk-wise. Enter Convergepoint’s Health and Safety Management Software. This is user-friendly and intuitive software for training needs analysis and oversight at its best. For example, the software can automatically reissue health and safety-related training policies by establishing time frames for review, renewal and expiration. The software allows the relevant people with access to view employee training records, including version histories and related discussions. It can also alert managers and employees as to when training, permits or certifications are approaching their deadline or are already overdue.
Automate Your Health and Safety Processes
Our software also affords trends analysis by allowing someone to see and assess training records individually or as a collective whole in order to track the effectiveness of current training, pick up any trends and patterns in training accomplishments or shortfalls, and make adjustments to training provided as needed. It also offers an invaluable means by which to track compliance by employees to training provided. This it achieves by allowing the request of training acknowledgements from specific individuals, teams or departments. The acknowledgement of training by employees is an effective means by which to ensure compliance to scheduled training and also helps to prevent future infractions.
Our software also provides a centralized focal point that allows employees to certify and acknowledge that they have read and understood safety procedures and works instructions that are applicable to them and their work. It can even create and assign customized quizzes to employees to ascertain their levels of understanding on specific health and safety topics or criteria.
