Assign Training to Employees

For: Trainer, Manager, Admin | Tier: Standard and Pro

This guide walks you through assigning a training course to employees — from chemical safety training to general safety orientation. After completing these steps, targeted employees will be notified and see the course on their My Training page.

Steps​

  1. Go to SafePath in the main navigation
  2. Click Assignments
  3. Click New Assignment
  4. Select course(s) — Choose one or more published courses from your library. Only published courses appear in the list.
  5. Choose who to assign:
    • Individual employees — Search and select specific people by name
    • Entire site — Select a site to assign to everyone working there
    • Specific role — Select a job role to assign to everyone with that role
  6. Set a due date — Choose when employees need to complete the training
  7. Add an optional message — Include a note explaining why this training is being assigned (e.g., "Annual HazCom refresher required by OSHA")
  8. Click Create Assignment

Employees receive a notification immediately. The course appears on their My Training page with the due date you set.

Assigning to Multiple Groups​

You can combine targeting options in a single assignment. For example, assign a course to all employees at Site A and all employees with the Forklift Operator role across your organization. SafePath handles any overlaps automatically — no employee receives a duplicate assignment.

Tips​

  • Set realistic due dates. Give employees enough time to complete the training without rushing, but not so long that it gets forgotten. Seven to fourteen days is a common window for most safety courses.
  • Use the optional message. A brief explanation like "New OSHA requirements effective January 2026" helps employees understand why the training matters.
  • Check the Assignments page after creating. Verify that the right number of employees were targeted and that statuses show as Assigned.
