Partner Perspective: KBR Safety Training
Partner Perspective: KBR Safety Training Delivering Smarter Safety Training with BIS Lastra talks psychology, VR, and AI in workplace training. By Luke Hillenbrand Facebook Twitter LinkedIn In high-risk industries like oil and gas, maintaining a safe workplace isn’t just a regulatory box to check—it’s a daily necessity. With field teams operating around the clock and across vast distances, the need for accessible, high-quality training is more critical than ever. For one senior manager at KBR Safety Training, the challenge was clear: how do you ensure consistent, compliant training across a large, distributed workforce while also streamlining administrative overhead? After extensive research into learning management systems and safety training solutions, KBR found the answer in BIS Safety Software—a platform that delivered not only robust tools but also a strategic opportunity to help others in the industry do the same. Seeking Simplicity in a Complex Landscape KBR Safety Training was established with a focused mission: to find and deliver effective safety training content that could be accessed anytime, anywhere. This wasn’t a side project—it was a strategic initiative designed to support internal training needs while also offering value to other organizations operating in similarly complex, safety-sensitive environments. ————————————————————————— “We didn’t need just a course portal. We needed a system that could scale, deliver on compliance, and simplify things for the boots on the ground. After evaluating over a dozen platforms, BIS was the clear winner.” KBR Senior Manager ————————————————————————— From a seamless user experience to an expansive course library and powerful administrative features, BIS offered a complete training ecosystem. It worked across both Canadian and U.S. regulations—an essential factor for organizations operating on both sides of the border—and provided tools that could grow with the company. The Tools That Made the Difference While many systems promised streamlined training, KBR’s leadership found that BIS delivered in two key areas where others fell short: 1. The Training Matrix Tracking employee training is often one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks for safety and HR teams. BIS’s Training Matrix simplified this instantly—offering real-time visibility into: Who is trained on what When certifications expire Which training is mandatory for each role Gaps that could affect compliance ————————————————————————— “The Training Matrix is unreal,” the manager noted. “It gives us a level of clarity we didn’t have before—whether we’re managing ten people or hundreds.” ————————————————————————— 2. Driver File Management Managing heavy vehicle operators comes with a unique set of compliance challenges, especially during audits. KBR used BIS’s Driver File Management tools to bring everything—licenses, certifications, performance reviews, and more—into a single, easily searchable location. ————————————————————————— “The Training Matrix is unreal,” the manager noted. “It gives us a level of clarity we didn’t have before—whether we’re managing ten people or hundreds.” ————————————————————————— These tools not only saved time but also reduced stress for managers and teams, ensuring that records were never out of date and no document was lost in the shuffle. Turning a Tool Into a Partnership What began as a search for a software solution evolved into something more: a strategic partnership. By becoming an Authorized Partner of BIS Safety Software, KBR Safety Training now helps other companies in its network access the same powerful tools that transformed its own operations. ————————————————————————— “We trust BIS with our internal operations—that confidence is why we recommend it to others,” said the manager. “It’s not just about reselling training. It’s about helping other businesses achieve the same level of compliance and peace of mind.” ————————————————————————— Through this partnership, KBR not only supports its internal teams but also empowers other organizations in the oil and gas sector with the tools they need to protect their people, pass audits, and stay ahead of evolving regulations. Conclusion: Why the Right Partner Matters As regulatory demands grow and the need for streamlined training becomes universal, companies like KBR are proving that the right tools—and the right partnerships—can make all the difference. With BIS Safety Software, they found more than a platform. They found a partner that shares their values and enables their vision. Whether you’re a safety manager, HR lead, or operations executive looking for better training solutions, KBR’s journey shows what’s possible when technology and purpose align.

Training Source
Training Source A BIS Authorized Partner Lastra talks psychology, VR, and AI in workplace training. By Luca Shillabeer Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Empowering Workers Through Comprehensive Safety Training For nearly a decade, Training Source has been a trusted provider of online safety training, specializing in work-alone safety, field compliance, and industry-specific certifications. By combining expertise in oil and gas safety protocols with cutting-edge e-learning solutions, Training Source has built a platform that helps businesses equip their workers with the knowledge they need to stay safe. A Journey Rooted in Industry Expertise Founded in 2015, Training Source was born out of a need for specialized work-alone training. The company’s founder, Ron Lambert, spent years working in the oil and gas sector, where he encountered firsthand the challenges of fieldwork and compliance. Recognizing the gaps between legislation and real-world applications, he developed a Work Alone Awareness Course—a program that quickly became a trusted resource across the industry. Since then, Training Source has expanded its offerings, initially starting with a small selection of courses and growing into a platform that now features 30-40 core training programs, focusing on high-demand safety topics. From the industry perspective, the clarity of the work alone legislation was sub-optimal which translated into potential compliance gaps in the field. Ron Lambert Founder Lone Worker Safety Tool Training on protocols, emergency response, and risk mitigation for workers in isolated environments. Oil & Gas Safety Training Industry-focused courses on hazard control, compliance, and worksite best practices. Construction Site Safety Essential training for fall protection, ground disturbance, and equipment operation. Comprehensive Workplace Safety Digital and instructor-led courses covering essential safety skills. Equipment Management Courses on proper handling and operation of heavy machinery and tools. Regulatory Compliance Stay up to date with workplace safety laws and industry regulations. Training Source primarily serves oilfield services companies, with some expansion into construction—particularly for ground disturbance training. Their mission is to ensure that businesses have fast, reliable access to safety training that meets regulatory standards and real-world demands. One of Training Source’s standout success stories includes working with an Alberta-based municipality to develop a custom training program. This tailored course ensured compliance for their field workers and provided a scalable training solution for their entire team. As Ron Lambert explains: There was a a municipality that reached out and we gladly created a customized course that their in-house trainer was able to deliver to their workers. And it it really filled the bill for all of their guys that were in the field. What we could do is tailor the content for them, and deliver them an appropriate focus which was very useful for them.
