Standardise every procedure. Protect every worker.
Manufacturing has the highest rate of non-fatal workplace injuries in the UK. Inconsistent training is a leading contributor. TrainedTeam gives you documented, tested, and tracked procedures for every role and every machine.

Training challenges in manufacturing
These problems are common across the sector - and they're costing you more than you think.
Every supervisor trains differently
Machine operators learn different methods depending on who trains them. This leads to quality issues, near-misses, and conflicting practices across shifts.
Paper-based records go missing
Training records in filing cabinets or spreadsheets are incomplete, hard to search, and impossible to verify. When HSE asks, you scramble.
New starters take weeks to become productive
Without structured onboarding, new operators shadow colleagues for weeks. They pick up bad habits along with good ones.
Near-misses don't get captured
Without a simple reporting process, near-misses go unreported. The same hazards cause incidents repeatedly.
How TrainedTeam solves this
One procedure per machine, used by everyone
Step-by-step instructions with photos for every piece of equipment. New or existing operators follow the same documented process. No variation between shifts.
Digital records with audit trail
Every training completion, quiz score, and e-signature is timestamped and stored. Pull up any record in seconds. Always audit-ready.
Knowledge checks before unsupervised operation
AI generates safety-focused quizzes from your procedures. Operators must pass before they can work independently. No more assumptions about competency.
Run execution with photo evidence
Quality checks and safety inspections become step-by-step runs with photo uploads. Visual proof that procedures were followed correctly.
Key regulations for manufacturing
TrainedTeam includes templates and procedures aligned with these regulations.

Manufacturing training FAQs
What training records do HSE inspectors expect manufacturers to keep?
Evidence of who was trained, on which procedure or piece of equipment, when, and how understanding was verified. TrainedTeam timestamps every training completion, quiz score, and e-signature, so any record can be pulled up in seconds rather than scrambled together from filing cabinets.
How does TrainedTeam standardise machine operating procedures?
One step-by-step instruction per machine, with photos at each step. Every operator — new or existing, any shift — follows the same documented process, which removes the variation that comes from each supervisor training differently.
Can we test operators before they work unsupervised?
Yes. AI generates safety-focused knowledge checks from your procedures, and operators must pass before working independently. Competency stops being an assumption.
Which UK regulations does manufacturing training need to cover?
The core set is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, PUWER 1998 for work equipment, COSHH 2002 for hazardous substances, LOLER 1998 for lifting equipment, and RIDDOR 2013 for incident reporting. TrainedTeam ships templates aligned with these, including risk assessment, COSHH, and manual handling procedures.
How long does it take to digitise existing SOPs?
Paste existing documents into the editor, or film a walkthrough and let AI convert the video into a structured step-by-step instruction with embedded clips. A procedure that lived in someone’s head can become a documented, testable SOP in minutes.
