Your questions, answered

How can I log and track work-related injuries, accidents and dangerous occurrences?

Our RIDDOR Registers allow you to securely record and track work-related injuries and dangerous occurrences, ensuring compliance with the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases, and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). This tool helps you monitor incidents, maintain an accurate audit trail, and take proactive steps to prevent future incidents.

How can I ensure my employees’ workstation setups comply with health and safety regulations?

Our DSE (Display Screen Equipment) Assessment tool helps you evaluate employees' workstation setups to ensure they meet health and safety standards. It guides employees through an easy-to-use self-assessment, identifying risks related to posture, screen positioning, and seating. Administrators can review flagged issues and take necessary actions to ensure compliance.

How can I measure and improve employee wellbeing in relation to health and safety?

Our Employee Wellbeing Survey helps you assess factors affecting employee health, including stress, mental wellbeing, and physical health. This anonymous survey provides valuable insights to inform wellbeing initiatives and create a healthier, more supportive work environment.

How does an Health and Safety Management System aid compliance?

A health and safety management system ensures risk assessments and related procedures and policies meet legal and regulatory requirements.

How do you measure the effectiveness of an Health and Safety Management System?

Through inspections, audits, incident reports and tracking leading (preventive) and lagging (reactive) indicators.

Are Skillcast courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools such as declarationssurveys and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

What is Aida and how does it ensure reliable answers?

 Aida is an AI tutor embedded in courses that allows learners to ask questions at any point during learning. It draws exclusively on content that has been vetted and curated by your organisation, including course materials, internal policies, approved web resources, and regulator sites. This curated approach ensures answers reflect accurate, organisation‑specific guidance. 

Can administrators see what questions are asked and how Aida responds?

Yes. Reporting includes both the questions asked and Aida’s responses. For meaningful insight, questions are also categorised by topic (e.g., records management, gifts and hospitality) to reveal trends. All reporting is anonymised by default to encourage open, non‑threatening inquiry. To protect assessment integrity, Aida is disabled during assessments and is only available during the learning components of a course.
