ANNOUNCEMENTS
On October 19, 2017, Actsafe’s outdated legacy
database “Passport” was replaced with the Safety
Training and Records (STAR) System. This enterprise
level Learning Management Systems (LMS), enables
Actsafe to administer, track, manage, and report
on training.
STAR also allows Actsafe to:
• upload a variety of custom course types,
• add certificates,
• create supplemental course materials,
• set pass marks, and much more.
Launching STAR also provided Actsafe with the
opportunity to reach out to users using a custom
built feature that enabled them to send a
database-wide email. This email was an opportunity
to introduce STAR, ask users to update their profiles
and capture information such as their role or
department in the industry and union affiliation.
Capturing this data will enable Actsafe to target
their health & safety resources to specific groups.
STAR offers users a better platform for storing their
training records that also allows them to email their
certificates directly to their supervisors, etc. from
their profile. Digital certificates are now issued for
all Actsafe in-house courses and appear in a user’s
profile in real time, eliminating the risk of certificates
being misplaced or lost in the mail. STAR also allows
us to send reminders of upcoming training, online
training that needs to be completed as well as
certificates that are going to expire.
For the first 2.5 months after the launch, over 3000
of the 13,000+ profiles that were uploaded were
activated and/or updated.
In 2017 the STAR system experienced zero
interruptions to service.
