Safety training is the cornerstone of risk reduction. Preparing construction workers for dangerous situations is essential for protecting them and staying compliant. Using a learning platform that helps your workers access vital safety training—anytime, anywhere—can make all the difference. Bridge LMS is an all-in-one learning solution that makes it easy for employers in construction to keep their people safe and stay OSHA- and HSE-compliant. It also empowers your workers to learn on the go while you track progress behind the scenes.
Read on to see how Bridge can help you keep your people safe, wherever they’re working.

Get Higher Employee Participation With Training Via a Mobile App
It comes as no surprise that 97% of U.S. employees say it’s important to feel safe at work, and that 79% place extreme importance on physical safety.
Wanting to stay safe, however, doesn't mean that everyone will be intrinsically motivated to complete mandatory training. When your workers are busy or feeling the pressure of working in an understaffed crew, they may prioritize other tasks ahead of learning and development. The key to helping them stay motivated to learn is to offer engaging content that they can complete wherever and whenever it’s convenient for them to do so.
Bridge LMS comes with a user-friendly mobile app ideal for learning on the go. Since the app is available in 20 languages, you can offer an inclusive learning environment to workers from all kinds of backgrounds. Bridge can also automatically send reminders when courses are left uncompleted. These notifications help workers stay on track and keep important safety information top of mind.
To further reduce barriers to training, our app offers Wi-Fi-free learning, meaning your workers will have the right learning content at their fingertips, wherever they are. This makes them more likely to regularly engage with mandatory training. Even better—it ensures they have crucial safety information whenever they're on site, so they can look up how to behave safely when they perceive a possible danger.
Track Completion Rates to Monitor Safety Training
Harvard research shows that effective training can reduce workplace accidents by up to 18%. With results like these on the table, you'll want to maximize the potential benefit of training and make sure that every employee engages with their learning and completes it on time.
To stay on top of training, you need hard facts and data. You know that hoping for the best simply isn't good enough. But it can be immensely challenging to track if and when workers complete their training. Especially when you’re managing a deskless workforce and your staff spend most of their time moving around on busy construction sites.
It doesn't have to be that hard—with Bridge LMS’s powerful analytics features, you can make quick work of tracking safety training metrics. The platform makes it easy to see how workers engage with learning. You can:
- Easily track whether workers enrolled in and completed their training and how they performed
- Get the complete picture of training across your workforce with easy-to-interpret charts and graphs that show how they’ve been learning
- Create custom reports on individuals or teams in just a few clicks, using filters like learner type, user groups, course type, progression, and due dates
