Training Trigger Audit – Know When Refresher Training Is Due

Training Trigger Audit

Refresher training is required by OSHA for plenty of topics, and the rules around when are scattered across calendar intervals, regulatory updates, incidents, and a handful of judgment calls that never quite show up on a single page. Keeping track of all of it — across every program you run — can be challenging. This program, the Training Trigger Audit, walks each training topic you deliver through seven real-world triggers (calendar intervals, regulatory changes, process or equipment changes, incidents, leading indicators, personnel changes, and comprehension failures) and scores it Green, Yellow, or Red, with a documented rationale you can keep on file. Try it out below by adding your own training programs or select the "Load sample workshop data" to see what it looks like. (The image above shows what the results look like when the sample data is used).

This tool is a documentation aid to support your training-needs judgment calls — it is not legal advice and does not replace review by a qualified EHS professional. Entries are stored only in this browser (localStorage) and are not sent anywhere; export CSV or a JSON backup regularly to save or share your audit.
