Assessing your training program

Any effective corporate training program lies in correctly identifying who needs to be trained, in what aspect, and for what outcomes. BSI training specialists assess our clients training program, operations, industry and management standards, and training delivery to identify gaps in training needs and regulatory requirements, in addition to, where their program lies in meeting its vision and goals for training.

Regulatory Training Assessment (RTA)

Our regulatory training assessments (RTAs) lead to a clear plan of action for bringing organizations into compliance with federal, state and local training requirements within different media, such as air, water, waste, safety, transportation and more.

An RTA is a way for an organization to assess their regulatory training requirements based on mandatory federal and state environmental, health and safety training requirements.

The purpose of the RTA is about safety and compliance, but it carries some additional rewards. The outcome will ultimately reduce injuries and fatalities, improve productivity and reduce violations and premiums.

How is an RTA performed?

There is no one standard approach for conducting an RTA however BSI’s methodology is to start by understanding the organization and operations.  By reviewing the organizations structure, operations and EH&S plans, permits and standard operating procedures (SOPs), BSI can identify applicable training requirements set by EH&S standards and regulations that would most likely apply to the organization’s employees.

Training Needs Analysis (TNA)

A Training Needs Analysis or TNA is a way for analyzing and documenting an individual's training requirements as compared to his or her present knowledge or skill level for performing a specific job. While the scope may be similar to an RTA, which is based on mandatory federal and state requirements, the TNA evaluates the job or function you’ve been assigned and the training needs for that specific function.

The TNA process will determine the training that needs to be completed in a certain period to allow their team to complete their job as effectively as possible, as well as progress and grow. We do this by identifying the skill set for a certain job, evaluating the skills of the employees performing the job and highlight gaps in between.
