Occupational health and safety legislation places a significant burden on employers to ensure workers are adequately trained. Training is not only embedded in regulatory requirements but is also foundational to the hierarchy of controls—supporting even engineering solutions through proper implementation.
Traditionally, employers demonstrated due diligence through in-person instruction, where learner identity, participation, and comprehension could be verified through hands-on activities and assessments.
But the shift to online training has disrupted this model. We've lost essential safeguards: verifying the participant’s identity, ensuring active engagement, and confirming that the correct individual completed the training. In this provocative session, we’ll examine how rapidly advancing artificial intelligence is undermining the integrity of online training.
You’ll gain insight into why, without robust safeguards, today’s online training may no longer satisfy compliance, legal, or liability expectations—and what that means for employers navigating risk in the digital age.
What You Will Learn
- Analyze how AI technologies may compromise the integrity and compliance of online occupational training.
- Assess the legal and regulatory risks linked to unverifiable online training.
- Identify essential safeguards- like identity verification and engagement tracking- that help ensure compliant and defensible training.
- Examine real-world consequences of unverified training and explore strategies to maintain training credibility in the AI era.
