Manage Member Training Records

Here at LNL, safety is our top priority. Due to the nature of our work and the equipment we use, we require that our members undergo training before carrying out certain activities. This includes, but is not limited to: rigging truss, operating aerial work platforms / lifts, and working with three-phase electrical power. To help us ensure that our members are properly trained, the LNLDB maintains records of all member training and certifications.

View Training Records

Caution

If you do not see Members > Training in the navigation bar, then you do not have permission to access member training records. Typically, you will need to be an active or alumni member.

There are actually a few different places in the LNLDB where you will find training records. The first is the training dashboard. To get to the training dashboard select Members > Training from the navigation bar.

You can also view training records for specific individuals on the member’s profile page. Training records typically include the type of training, the date the training was performed, who issued the training, and when it expires.

Update Training Records

Caution

Permission Required: Add training

In order to update training records, you must have been assigned a role that allows you to add training records to the database. If you do not see the big blue Enter Training button on the training dashboard, your current role(s) do not grant you adequate permissions to do any of the following.

Enter New Training

  1. Start by selecting Members > Training from the navigation bar.
  2. Click the big blue Enter Training button.
  3. Under Training type, select the type of training that was performed.
  4. Enter the date on which the training session was held. You may use the built-in calendar widget or enter the date manually in mm/dd/yyyy format.
  5. If the training session was conducted by an LNL member, enter their name into the Trainer field. As you type, the field will automatically search the database for users that match your query. Select the correct user from the results to continue. For trainings conducted by an external organization you may leave this field blank.
  6. Under Trainees, enter the names of each individual person who attended the training session. As you type, the field will automatically search the database for users that match your query. Select the correct user from the results then repeat until all the trainees are listed.
  7. If the training has an expiration date, be sure to enter that date into the Expiration date field. You may use the built-in calendar widget or enter the date manually in mm/dd/yyyy format.
  8. Finally, if you wish to include any notes about the training, enter them in the Notes field. When everything looks good, click Save.

Note

If the type of training you wish to record is not listed in the dropdown, contact our Webmaster.

Note

Typically, the person running the training session must already have a valid training record before they can issue training to others.

Add Notes

You may update training notes at any time using the cards displayed on the user’s profile page.

  1. Navigate to the user’s profile page.
  2. Under Trainings, locate the card for the respective training.
  3. Click Edit notes, then update the notes as needed.
  4. Click Save

Revoke Training

Sometimes it may be necessary to revoke someone’s training if they fail to adhere to established safety procedures. To revoke a training:

  1. Navigate to the user’s profile page.
  2. Under Trainings, locate the card for the respective training.
  3. Click Revoke

Danger

Once training has been revoked, the action cannot be undone. The training will need to be reentered once the user has been retrained.
