SDS Training

When it comes to levelling up health and safety in the workplace, giving your employees access to high-quality training is vital. Of course, we all know the importance of compliance when it comes to Safety Data Sheets (SDS), but ensuring your staff receive high-quality SDS training, and are equipped with information on the latest regulations is not always easy.

Stacked against all the urgent tasks on our to-do lists, conducting an evaluation of safety training methods and materials can often get pushed to the bottom. The good news is that you’re here reading this! Which means that you’ve probably started to consider what safety training online can unlock for you and your team.  

CHAPTER 1

SDS Training: what’s the big deal?

Achieving compliance and chemical safety in your organisation is made a whole lot easier once your team has a sound understanding of SDS. Without this, you put your organisation at risk of holding incorrect or out of date information for any hazardous materials or substances that you handle. You have a legal requirement not to let this happen.

SDS training provides employees with the knowledge and skills to handle chemicals and other hazardous materials in the workplace safely. Plus, having the required training will empower your staff to be confident about key information about hazard identification, labelling requirements, protective equipment, and emergency procedures.   

Access to SDS training is crucial for regulatory compliance and for creating a safer and more productive workplace. 

CHAPTER 2

The secret to effective SDS training

Offering SDS training is only one piece of the puzzle. The other is the system in which you provide and manage your training. Safety training systems should facilitate an outstanding experience for administrators, instructors, and learners. 
A comprehensive safety learning management system allows administrators access to real-time insights and reports for complete control. The opportunity to set up automation saves a significant amount of time while keeping on top of recurring courses and certifications. 
Instructors can reap numerous benefits. In switching from traditional classroom training to a more efficient blended learning experience, they can expect to see improved engagement and increased productivity. 
Learners can benefit from the ability to learn anytime and anywhere. Having access to the latest SDS information will empower staff to feel safe and secure in their work.
