There are 3 major ways to manage EHS compliance, and a good solution starts with a solid training plan.

1. Training your employees
2. Training your management team 
3. Training your suppliers

In addition to the above, there are many other benefits to training employees and management teams on EHS compliance. They will learn how to identify hazards, how to work safely and have a better understanding of what it means to be “proactive” in the workplace.

Is the cost of the course reasonable?    

If your company is looking for a cost effective way to comply with all aspects of the EHS standards, it is important that they look at how much each course will cost them before signing up for one. Many companies will find themselves paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for each hour that an instructor spends on their course. While this is a great way to make sure that your company learns all of the necessary information and provides you with the best possible training, it can also be very costly. 

Will you have access to your trainer 24 hours a day?   

This is a very important consideration for companies who need to provide their employees with EHS training on a regular basis. If your company only has an instructor available on days that are convenient for them, it may be difficult for them to schedule the training sessions and make sure that their employees receive all of the information that they need. 

It is important for companies to look at how many hours each course will take, along with how many people will be in each class so that they can decide if they will need an instructor available around the clock or if they can get by without an instructor at all. The same is true for the training manuals and videos that you will be using in your EHS course. They may be very useful, but they are also very expensive. They will cost you a lot more if you are only going to be able to use them once or twice.

Will this training course offer any kind of certification?    

Some companies want to make sure that their employees have a way to prove that they have received the necessary training when it comes time for them to do a hazard assessment, review safety policies and report violations. If your company already offers such a certification, then it is likely that this will not be an issue for you. If it does not currently exist, then you should look into creating one so that your employees can receive credit for this type of training when they need it. 

How many people will take the EHS course?    

It is very important to consider how many people are going to be in each class so that you can make sure that enough equipment is available. You will also want to make sure that there are enough computers and printers available for everyone to use. Check out to know what are ways to manage EHS compliance.

What is the cost of the EHS course?    

You may be able to get an idea of what you will need to spend on these items from your company’s HR department or from the training company itself. However, you should always check with a few different companies before you commit to anything because some are more competitive than others.
