What you need to know
1. Employee Course Registration
To ensure proper compliance, the Learning and Development Portal restricts who can register for certain courses:
- Required Safety Training: Employees cannot self-register for required online safety courses. A list of required safety training courses based on specific tasks is available for each work environment.
- Recommended Safety Training: Employees are allowed to self-register for recommended injury prevention and safety awareness courses. Access the Learning and Development Portal and search the training course name.
- Safety Talks / Fact Sheets: Employees are allowed to complete in a self-directed learning method. Supervisors are encouraged to facilitate as supplemental training aid and track attendance.
2. Tracking & Managing Progress
Because portal notifications are automated, supervisors must actively manage their team’s training time and deadlines:
- No Registration Alerts: You will not receive an email when an employee registers for a course. Be sure to communicate your expectations clearly, especially regarding how much work time they should allocate to complete their training.
- Overdue Alerts: You will generally receive a notification if an employee misses a training due date. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to follow up and ensure completion.
