In 2016, UND needed a systematic way to train employees campus-wide and their dilemma only heightened when their insurance carriers implemented new requirements to lessen workers' compensation injuries and damages.
With approximately 6,000 employees spread across 170+ different areas, finding an online training system that could be customized and would track completions was key.
After reviewing numerous providers, administrators discovered the SafeColleges Training System.
And best of all, UND administrators no longer have to "guesstimate" who has completed training, they now have concrete data from SafeColleges Training reports that prove that 96% of employees have passed their course work.
Needless to say, the university's insurance carriers were pleased with their injury-prevention efforts and lowered the university's insurance premium $500,000 last year!
Fantastic job by Terry Wynne, Associate Director of Safety, Linda Olson, Risk Management Officer, Tearnie Braaten, Workers' Compensation Claims Coordinator, and others at UND! Not only are they making their university a safer place to work and learn, but they're also reducing injuries, too. A win-win!
