Training & Competency
Store certifications, track training completion and see your whole workforce in one competency matrix - with email alerts before qualifications expire and exportable profiles when clients ask for proof.
Why teams switch
Lapsed tickets are found at the worst moments - during audits, tenders or investigations. Safety Mate® keeps competency live, visible and provable.
The competency matrix maps every worker against the qualifications their role requires - current, expiring and missing, all in one view.
Get reminded by email well before certifications lapse, so refresher training is booked in time - not discovered missing during an audit.
Exportable competency profiles show each worker's current qualifications and training history - ready for tenders, site access and client audits.
Competency matrix
Map your workforce against the competencies each role requires. Green means current, amber means expiring, red means expired - and the whole picture updates itself as training is completed and certifications are added.
Whole workforce visibility that updates as records change.
Store certificates and evidence against each user's record.
Spot missing competencies before work is assigned, not after.
Never lapse again
Every qualification carries its expiry date, and Safety Mate® warns you well in advance - so refresher courses are booked, budgets are planned, and no one turns up to site with a lapsed ticket.
Alerts land before expiry, with enough lead time to book refreshers.
See everything expiring in the next 30, 60 and 90 days across the workforce.
New training closes the gap automatically once recorded.
