The foundation of the internal responsibility system is that everyone in the workplace – employees, supervisors and managers – is responsible for their own safety and the safety of others.

A strong internal responsibility system is an important part of a strong workplace health and safety culture, but managing employee training schedules and keeping track of training records to ensure compliance can be one of the biggest challenges for supervisors and employers.

Learning management systems are digital tools that deploy and manage training activities. By choosing the right learning management system, employers can strengthen their workplace internal responsibility system by providing a centralized access point for all supervisors and employees to access health and safety training records, policies and forms.

MidSouthWest offers an enterprise-level learning management system that allows you to store all of your training records in one convenient location – including records from online training classes and face-to-face training classes offered by any provider – as well manage policy forms, learning materials, onboarding presentations and training schedules in one convenient, secure location.

Benefits of an online learning management system

1. Foster a strong internal responsibility system by providing employees and supervisors with an easy-to-use, accessible repository for all of your workplace health and safety training and policy documents.
2. Allow employers, supervisors and employees to access training records, policies and safety documents on mobile or tablet devices, laptops or desktops from any location.
3. Take the stress and frustration out of managing training records by allowing managers to easily assign courses, track employee training progress, manage training certificates, and schedule refresher training using our learning management system.
