EHS training content is the guts of your program. It’s the videos, quizzes, PowerPoints, checklists, and guides that show your team how not to get hurt or get you fined. Whether it’s delivered online, in person, or through an LMS, it’s the actual stuff that builds awareness, drives safety culture, and checks those all-important compliance boxes.
Your LMS is the container. The content is the main course. One hosts the training, the other teaches it. You can have the flashiest LMS in the world, but if the content is boring, outdated, or irrelevant, no one’s learning anything. And that’s a problem, especially when OSHA comes knocking.
Today, there are better ways to deliver safety content that your team will actually use:
You can have the best delivery method out there, but if your training content feels like a snooze-fest, your team won’t remember anything. OSHA doesn’t care if you checked a box, they care if your workers understand the hazards. Great content keeps it accurate, relevant, and job-specific. Even better if it gets Larry in maintenance to say, “Huh, I didn’t know that.”
Not all safety training content is created equal. Some are built by experts, others… not so much. Here’s where most content comes from:
When it comes to compliance, local matters. U.S.-based content providers build their material around OSHA regulations, not EU rules or Canadian standards. That means your training speaks the same language as your inspectors and your insurance company. Plus, you get U.S.-based support when things hit the fan (and they will).
If your team handles chemicals, heat, heights, or heavy machinery, your training should reflect those realities. That means real-life scenarios, relevant hazard awareness, and industry-specific examples. Bonus if it includes refresher content, microlearning options, or downloads like checklists and toolbox talks.
