Spreadsheet training matrices can't alert you before certifications expire, can't track which contractors have completed site-specific training, and can't demonstrate competency during incident investigations. Onos provides a centralised training management system with automated expiry alerts, online course delivery, and integration with access control—ensuring only competent people perform safety-critical activities.

From site verification to enterprise analytics, Onos addresses training management at every level
Problem:
Contractors arrive claiming they hold required certifications, but you have no way to verify their claims without phoning their office and hoping someone answers. You discover expired training after allowing people to operate equipment, creating liability if incidents occur.
Solution:
Onos links training records to worker QR codes—scan a contractor's code to instantly see their certifications, expiry dates, and completed site-specific training. Only workers with valid, verified training are issued site access. If a contractor's CPCS card expires next week, you'll know before they arrive on site.
Problem:
You're tracking training across multiple spreadsheets—one for internal staff, another for contractors, separate sheets for each certification type—with no automated alerts before expiry, meaning you discover lapsed training during audits or after incidents.
Solution:
Onos maintains a single training matrix for internal staff and contractors showing all certification types, expiry dates, and upcoming renewals. Automated alerts notify individuals and managers 60, 30, and 14 days before expiry. Generate reports in seconds—replacing half-day manual compilation with 5-minute automated exports.
Problem:
Training represents significant investment (£2k-£5k per person annually), but you have no visibility into whether training is aligned to actual work activities, whether competency gaps exist, or whether training actually reduces incidents.
Solution:
Onos provides enterprise-wide training analytics showing competency profiles by role, sites with training gaps, and whether trained vs. untrained individuals have different incident rates. Demonstrate ROI with data showing competency development reduces accidents.
Four steps to comprehensive training management
Define training types (CSCS, CPCS, first aid, site-specific inductions), validity periods, and role requirements. Create training plans showing which roles require which certifications, enabling competency gap analysis.
Workers upload certification evidence (photos of cards, PDF certificates) via mobile app or secure links. Office staff verify evidence against issuing bodies' databases. Verified training triggers automated expiry alerts.
Build site-specific training courses using Onos's course creator—combine videos, images, documents, and comprehension quizzes. Workers complete courses on any device, with quiz results determining pass/fail.
Link training requirements to site access permissions. Workers requiring specific training for certain areas are automatically restricted until they complete required courses. Integration with digital sign-in prevents unauthorised access.

| Criteria | Spreadsheet Training Matrices | Onos Training Module |
|---|---|---|
| Expiry Tracking | Discovering expired training during audits | Automated alerts 60 days before expiry |
| Reporting Time | 4 hours compiling monthly training reports | 5 minutes generating automated reports |
| Verification | No way to verify contractor certification claims | Instant verification via QR code scanning |
| Training Delivery | Inconsistent site-specific training via toolbox talks | Standardised online courses with comprehension testing |
| Risk Integration | Training requirements disconnected from risk assessments | Integration showing which training is required for high-risk activities |
We'll demonstrate building a site-specific training course, show how automated alerts prevent expired certifications, and walk through verification of training records via QR code scanning.
