According to J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc., “a trainer’s job is not complete until the training is documented” both to meet regulatory and regularity needs, and as part of a health, safety, quality and management system.

This may include a sign-in sheet to show a worker attended a training session; topics covered, instructor’s and trainee’s name, date, time, and a training file for each worker.

Dr. Jacqui Taylor, a Learning Management System (LMS) specialist, notes that clear dated recordkeeping and a completion certificate for workers “enables timely refresher training, and shows corporate and management support for worker self-development.”

“While the format of training records varies [both paper and electronic], all training documentation needs to be kept up to date and should be revised following each training session,” J.J. Keller continues. [brackets ours]

“…[Even] OSHA compliance officers use employee and employer interviews and observations of work practices to determine if workers have the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their assigned duties without danger to themselves or others.” [brackets and italics ours]

By video proctoring correct cleaning movements and processes using IHC’s Power Learning system and a smart phone, you have a solid method to remotely train workers, evaluate, and certify their proficiency task-by-task or area-by-area, and — once uploaded to our secure LMS — a permanent video record of ergonomics and safety instruction.

It is an important way of going on record for training excellence.
