Yes. OSHA allows training records to be kept in electronic form as long as they are readily accessible and contain the required information. In fact, OSHA has stated that electronic documentation of training is acceptable provided it meets the same requirements as a paper record (for example, including details like the employee’s name, training date, and a certification by the employer or trainer that the training was completed). CVS is built to capture all those key details for each credential. Each entry in the system can include the employee’s identity, the training name/topic, date of completion, and any proof of completion (such as an uploaded certificate with signatures if needed). Because CVS makes records “readily accessible” – you can call them up on any device at any time – it aligns well with OSHA’s expectations for accessibility to records by employers, employees, and inspectors. Many companies have moved to digital recordkeeping, like CVS, specifically to improve their compliance processes, and OSHA recognizes properly maintained electronic records as valid. As always, you should ensure the data entered is accurate and kept up-to-date, but there is no requirement that you maintain paper copies if an electronic system is fulfilling those needs.
