When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This assessment is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this assessment covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form KC-2026-000
- You are running the Training Delivery and Effectiveness programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links worker, erp
Not for
- General Safety Knowledge Check, which a short quiz on core safety knowledge, used to find gaps rather than to catch people out.
- Procedure Knowledge Check, which checks whether workers understand a specific procedure they use.
- Safety Culture Survey, which asks workers how safe they feel, whether they would report a problem and whether they believe management would act.
- Anything outside KnowTrain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
