Learn the value of sensors to prevent asset loss and how to create courses or lessons to deliver bite-sized training content to your team.5. Sensors
What are sensors?
Sensors in SafetyCulture automatically track conditions like temperature in fridges, cool rooms, and other critical areas. Instead of relying only on manual checks or paper logs, they send regular readings into SafetyCulture, so your team can see what is happening now, review trends over time, and keep clear records for audits. When you set up alerts, SafetyCulture notifies the right people if readings move outside the range you choose, helping protect stock and equipment day to day.
Each sensor connects to a nearby gateway, which forwards the data to SafetyCulture. Gateways act as the bridge between your on-site devices and your account that collects readings from multiple sensors within range, so you can monitor several locations from one place.
If you already use sensors with SafetyCulture and want to add more gateways or sensors, contact your customer success manager. For new purchases or questions about buying from third parties or us, get in touch with our product experts.
What you'll need
"Sensors: Access" permission to view sensor-related data in your organization
"Sensors: Manage" permission to add new or manage existing sensors
Sensor locations are different from the sites used in other areas of SafetyCulture, such as Inspections and Actions. Check out our support articles for information on how to add and manage sensors in your organization.
6. Training
What is Training in SafetyCulture?
Training in SafetyCulture lets you create, assign, and track bite-sized courses so frontline and operational teams can learn as part of their day-to-day work. It’s designed for people on site, on the road, or in the field, where learning needs to fit into short breaks rather than extended time away from the job.
With Training, everything is managed in one place, with clear visibility into who has completed each course and when. Admins can build their own courses or start from the Training Library, then assign them to individuals or groups. They can also set up quizzes, practical assessments, and assignments to reinforce key information after a course is completed, and facilitate group training and discussions across teams.
This helps bring new starters up to speed, cover safety and compliance requirements, explain new procedures after an incident or process change, and share quick refreshers to people across multiple sites.
If you need help getting started with your training content, you can create a course, lesson, or lesson slide using AI by describing the topic or taking photos of your materials.
If you have your own existing training material, you can convert it into training courses using AI.
