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 Warehouse and Dock Safety programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links racking inspection
Not for
- Loading and Unloading Training, which covers trailer restraint, dock plate use, load stability and the sequence for entering a trailer.
- Load Securement Training, which covers restraint methods, load limits, headboard use and what an unsecured load does under braking.
- Stock Handling and Rotation Training, which covers stock rotation, damage reporting, segregation and how to handle product in a chilled environment.
- Anything outside KnowTrain, 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 racking 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 KnowTrain — training and credentials. Induction, competency, toolbox talks, refreshers and expiry tracking.
