Safety Culture library

Organizations with strong safety cultures experience reduced safety incidents, lower workers’ compensation costs, increased productivity and employee engagement, and improved corporate reputation.

A dependable safety culture requires buy-in from all levels of an organization. TrainingToday’s safety culture library helps raise the value of safety in your organization and develop the skills needed to create and maintain a safety culture. Some courses are applicable to all employees, and some are specifically designed for supervisors and senior leaders.

• Safety as a Right and a Responsibility: This session explores how a personal commitment to safety is a key enabling factor for a culture of safety.

Refreshed food safety courses

The consequences of poor food safety practices are detrimental to companies and their customers. If hands are not properly cleaned or food is not stored correctly, people can become very ill. Proper training is needed to ensure that germs, viruses, pesticides, or cleaners don’t contaminate food or drinks.

Several food safety courses have been refreshed and relaunched with a new look and feel.

• Food Service Inspections: This session explains best practices to prepare for a food service inspection of your establishment.
• Food Service Safety: This course covers the key steps to food service safety, from good hygiene to proper food handling and ensuring food service materials and equipment are clean and safe to use.
• Food Service Sanitation: This course provides an understanding of why cleanliness and sanitation are essential in food service, and how to maintain good personal hygiene, identify the characteristics of a clean and sanitary food service establishment, know what to sanitize and how to do it, and prevent pest infestations.
• Food Service Storage: This session focuses on how to store food properly to preserve quality and prevent contamination that can lead to food poisoning.
• Safe Temperatures for Food Storage, Preparation, and Service: This course explains all the important temperatures for storing, preparing, and serving food safely.

LMS feature and functionality spotlight

Scheduled Reporting

One of the most popular administrative features in the LMS is scheduled reporting. Our users love that it helps automate their training programs. Scheduled reports save time and effort by tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and ensuring the organization hits goals and stays compliant. Admins can build a custom report and tailor its delivery depending on their training objective.

Select your customization options while you complete the final steps of your report:

1. Name your report so you and other administrators can easily identify it.
2. Choose how often you’d like the report to run automatically.
   • Run once now. (This option will not set up a recurring report!)
   • Monthly—choose the day of the month and what time works best for you. We often see monthly reports running on the 1st or 15th to check compliance completions regularly.
   • Weekly—choose a day of the week and time. This is useful for checking the status of new hire onboarding and course completion statuses due within a month of course assignment.
   • Daily—choose the time you’d like the report to run. This is helpful for training programs that require frequent monitoring to identify learning challenges.
3. Select who else in your organization should receive the report. This is ideal when your HR, compliance, or executive teams need to be in the loop with your training program without needing to log into the system to run the report; it’s delivered to them via e-mail!
4. Share the report with other admin-level users within the system. They can then view or edit the report depending on your chosen permission setting.
