When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This training 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 training covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Environmental Management programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links aspects register, spill response
Not for
- Environmental Spill Drill Record, which records a practice spill response, timed from discovery to containment.
- Anything outside KnowEnviro, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the environmental awareness training library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowEnviro — environment and energy. Aspects, permits, waste, emissions, spills and sustainability reporting.
