The goal of this site is to produce proficient students. Using proven instuctional design techniques combined with in-depth knowledge distilled from Zurich risk engineers allows us to produce instruction calibrated to the proficiency requirements of each training population. This means courses intended for workers directly exposed to job-related risks are more rigorous than courses for support staff. It also means that courses devoted to high-risk topics such as hazardous materials handling or working at heights are more rigorous than those targeting less critical topics. Automated Record Keeping
It is usually a good idea for the employer to keep a record
of all safety and health training. Records can provide
evidence of the employer’s good faith and compliance with
OSHA standards. Documentation can also supply an answer to
one of the first questions an accident investigator will ask:
“Was the injured employee trained to do the job?”

Having a reliable record of training activities is a requirement of many government and industry regulations. This site automatically records detailed student performance data as it is generated during each learning session. Automated training data, collected and maintained by a disinterested third-party, is a valuable asset for demonstrating compliance with mandatory training requirements. It is also a great tool for measuring the effectiveness of your training activities. Because our customers have different reporting requirements and different data management policies, we permit training administrators to specify how long student data is retained and whether it should be ascribed to an individual learner. This allows us to offer comprehensive automated record-keeping in a way that is consistent with a range of data retention policies. |
