Featured Topic: Curriculum Minimum Time Spent.
This setting allows organizations to set up a minimum time spent for a worker to complete a curriculum; the curriculum won’t be marked complete until the time requirement is complete. Learners clearly see the minimum time AND their total time spent at the top of the curriculum to improve compliance and reduce admin time management questions.

Tags in the EHS System

Tags (Settings > Tags) are meant to be connected to user profiles to form ad hoc groups of users. This becomes useful in module automations when you need to identify a group of users by something other than location or department.

Tags also have an extended permission option that can grant View or Edit access to records the user doesn't currently have with their normal Role setting. Extended permissions can even be targeted to records at a specific location, which makes this a perfect set-up for branch managers. Tag permissions only apply for as long as the user has the tag on their profile. Remove it and the access is revoked immediately, which makes Tags an excellent way to manage access when you have a shifting role such as a temporary safety officer.

Regulation Rundown

Safe Driving

If your employees drive for work, motor vehicle safety is workplace safety.

The General Duty Clause of the OSH Act requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm. For employers with workers who get behind the wheel as part of their jobs, that makes driving hazards an important part of the workplace safety conversation.

OSHA recommends assessing risks related to drivers, vehicles, and road conditions and establishing written policies and procedures covering areas such as driver training, vehicle maintenance, safe vehicle operation, seat belt use, distracted or impaired driving, accident reporting, and mechanical failures.

From driver safety training to tools that support your broader safety program, HSI can help you address workplace driving risks and build safer habits behind the wheel.
