Ensuring workplace safety compliance has never been more critical. With increasing regulations, stricter audit requirements, and the need for consistent training across multiple locations, businesses must invest in training that is effective, scalable, and fully integrated into their existing systems.
Yet, many organisations struggle to find safety training that meets their specific industry needs. Off-the-shelf courses from generalised training companies can often not only miss the high standards and regulated requirements that safety training requires, to ensure compliance. But it will also often lack company branding, policy alignment, and industry-specific content, forcing businesses to conduct additional training or risk falling short of compliance standards. This not only increases costs but also leads to training inefficiencies, disengaged employees, and potential audit failures.
A better approach? Targeted training, which offers seamless integration, tracking, and a custom learning experience—without reliance on external platforms. By using training that is deployed from a secure external source on their own Learning Platform, companies can take full control of their compliance training while maintaining a consistent, high-quality learning experience for employees.
What is Targeted Training & Why Does It Matter?
Targeting Training is written by experts in the field and uses both SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), as well as Tin Can for e-learning content. It means that if a business has their own LMS provider but feel like they are missing out on all the correct content, this can be safely added without requiring a third party to take access of their system or put files on directly. This ensures that training courses can be hosted, tracked, and managed on different Learning Management Systems (LMS) and some HR systems. Allowing businesses to:
✔ Standardise training across multiple locations – Ensure all employees receive the same level of training, no matter where they are.
✔ Seamlessly track and report employee progress – Easily monitor completion rates, engagement, and compliance readiness.
✔ Update and maintain training content efficiently – Quickly implement changes to align with new regulations or internal policies.
✔ Eliminate the need for third-party training platforms – Keep training within your own systems for full control and security.
For organisations looking to reduce administrative burdens and ensure compliance without external dependencies, Targeted Training provides a flexible, scalable solution.
The Limitations of Generic Safety Training
Many businesses rely on pre-packaged safety courses that, while informative, often fall short in key areas:
🚫 Lack of Branding & Policy Integration – Employees engage more when training reflects company values and policies.
🚫 One-Size-Fits-All Approach – Generic courses may fail to cover industry-specific risks or unique regulatory requirements.
🚫 Compliance Gaps – Non-customised training may not meet audit standards, leading to additional costs and corrective actions.
🚫 Cost Inefficiencies – Businesses may need to invest in multiple training solutions to cover compliance gaps.
Without a tailored, integrated training solution, companies risk inconsistencies, compliance failures, and disengaged employees—all of which can lead to operational inefficiencies and reputational damage.
How Specialised Targeted Safety Training Solves These Challenges
Training that is written especially for you by experts, offering a customisable, company-aligned solution that enhances compliance while streamlining training management has many benefits.
The key benefits include:
- Custom Branding & Policy Integration – Ensure training reflects company policies, values, and branding.
- Audit-Approved & Expert-Written Content – Meet industry regulations without needing additional verification.
- Seamless LMS Compatibility – Works across different Learning Management Systems for easy deployment.
- Flexible Licensing Models – Choose from time-limited access, fixed-seat licenses, or pay-as-you-go.
- Built-in Security & Compliance – Protect against unauthorised access and ensure GDPR compliance.
Seamless LMS Integration: Making Safety Training Effortless
One of the biggest advantages of this training is its effortless integration with your existing Learning Management System (LMS).
Unlike standalone training platforms that require employees to log into separate systems, using deployed training allows businesses to host, track, and manage expert safety training directly within their own LMS. Running alongside training from other areas of the business, matching into the student’s Learning Journeys ensuring a smooth and cohesive learning experience.
Why LMS Integration Matters:
- Centralised Training Management – Keep all training courses in one place for easy access and tracking. Include additional training into Learning Journeys for a seamless student experience.
- Real-Time Progress Tracking – Correctly set up targeted courses will still provide information to your LMS for insights into learner engagement and compliance.
- Easy Content Updates – The course builders can update the courses for regulatory or policy change without entering into the businesses LMS.
Businesses using specialised targeted training with full LMS integration ensure that every employee receives consistent, up-to-date safety training—without the hassle of managing multiple training systems.
By leveraging professional training within their existing LMS, companies can reduce administrative workloads, improve engagement, and enhance compliance tracking—all while keeping safety training aligned with their brand and policies.
Choosing the Right Targeted Training Model
