Lafayette, Colo. – November 19, 2020 – KPA’s EHS software for brokers’ clients, Risk Management Center, saw a 39% increase in the number of compliance training courses employees completed from January to September 2020. As the Coronavirus pandemic altered the way many companies do business, workplace safety and compliance training took the spotlight and saw increased usage in the Risk Management Center.

Insureds Increase Compliance Training in Response to COVID-19

Among the top courses completed was the “COVID-19 – General Awareness” training. Since it was released in April, the course was completed more than 20,000 times. It was among the top five courses completed from May to August. The other most completed training courses include:

• Anti-Harassment Training

A closer look at the Risk Management Center data shows more than 20,000 additional courses were completed in September than in January of 2020. Previously, KPA reported that more than 650,000 sessions took place in the Risk Management Center during the first half of 2020.

EHS Software for Brokers that Supports Insureds’ Safety Program

The Risk Management Center helps brokers provide value-added resources to their insureds which help reduce risk and in turn, reduce claims. Property & casualty resources like incident and claims management, online compliance training, audits and inspections, and behavior-based safety programs available in the Risk Management Center help them manage their liability.

“This year has refocused the spotlight back on businesses to ensure their employees’ safety and protect their liability. Risk Management Center’s training courses are an important piece of a safety and compliance program that can build a strong culture to reduce risk and improve their business operations,” said Kathryn Carlson, Vice President of Product Management at KPA.

KPA’s compliance training program has grown along with its online software capabilities. The catalog of award-winning compliance training courses now spans hundreds of courses, often available in both English and Spanish. The interactive nature and topic range of KPA’s courses are crucial for various industries that must provide employee training to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or state agency requirements.
