Workhub

Overview

Workhub is a workplace safety and compliance system built to bring worker training, safety records, and worksite processes together. It is best suited to organizations coordinating compliance across workers and locations, rather than teams looking only for a course-delivery platform. Its broad operational scope is a clear strength, but key capabilities such as exports and fuller support sit behind the paid plan.

Key features

Workhub covers more than training: teams can manage policies, procedures, certificates, competencies, incidents, inspections, safety meetings, forms, and bulletins. That range is useful when safety teams need to keep records and audit preparation alongside training; organizations seeking only a learning platform may not need so much compliance tooling.

The service includes more than 80 training courses and lets organizations build courses from custom content and quizzes. Automated assignments, completion certificates, and an audit trail support routine tracking. The notable gap is SCORM support: teams that need to import or manage SCORM packages should choose a different system.

Worksite Screening supports custom questionnaires and access logs for workers and visitors, extending Workhub beyond employee training. WorkerID gives users access to compliance data on computers and mobile devices, both online and offline. The Workhub mobile application is a progressive web app that can be added to an iPhone or Android home screen, not downloaded from an app store.

Paid subscribers can use API calls to extract basic data into external programs. Workhub also documents form-submission connections with Google Forms, Jotform, and Typeform. These options help connect selected data and form workflows, though the API is described as providing basic data extraction rather than a broad integration layer.

Workhub says it limits service providers' access to personal information and requires confidentiality and security procedures and protections. That is a relevant privacy commitment for organizations handling worker records, but it does not by itself establish suitability for any particular regulatory requirement.

Pricing

Workhub has a Free plan and a Standard plan at $3 a month, billed (USD) / month per user, with a minimum of 3 users. Standard therefore starts at three paid seats, making it a more natural fit for small teams than a single administrator or solo user. A 30-day trial is also offered.

Free includes access to Workhub with limited file uploads and limited support, and it does not include data exports. It is a sensible starting point for organizations that can work within those constraints; teams that need to move data out or rely on more support will need to budget for Standard.

Standard adds custom branding, location-based assignments, SMS notifications, data imports and exports, and full phone and email support. SMS notifications are available only in Canada and the USA. Those additions make Standard more practical for organizations managing work across locations or needing stronger data portability, but the three-user minimum may be unnecessary overhead for smaller operations. The Free plan also does not include ads; those are not included.

Platforms

Workhub supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. Its mobile-friendly application runs as a progressive web app rather than an app-store installation, while WorkerID offers online and offline access to compliance data on mobile or computer.

Who it's for

Workhub is a strong fit for organizations that need safety training, worker certificates, policies, procedures, and audit preparation managed together. Teams coordinating compliance across worksites can also benefit from location-based assignments on Standard and screening tools for workers and visitors. It is a weaker fit for buyers who require SCORM support, need exports on a free plan, or want a dedicated course platform without broader safety-management features.

Pros and cons

• Broad safety and compliance coverage: training sits alongside incidents, inspections, policies, certificates, and other operational records, which suits teams managing more than course completion.
• Flexible training content: the 80+ course library and custom courses with quizzes support both ready-made and organization-specific learning.
• Useful worker access options: WorkerID supports offline access, while the progressive web app avoids requiring an app-store download.
• Free plan trade-offs: limited uploads and support, plus no exports, can restrict organizations that need to manage records at scale.
• Standard seat floor: the minimum three users can make the paid plan less suitable for a very small team.
• No SCORM support: organizations with SCORM-based course materials will need another option.

Alternatives

For a wider category comparison, see Compliance Training Software.

SafetySkills is worth comparing for teams that want a free option and can work with its per-credit assignment model, where credits are charged when courses are assigned. Emtrain is a paid alternative with annual per-learner plans and a 100-user minimum on Basic, making its listed structure more relevant to larger deployments. Enabler is another freemium alternative with a free plan and support for Android, iOS, and web.

Traliant offers a paid Plus plan starting at $3.99 a year per learner, with HRIS integrations, analytics, legal support, a course customizer, classroom mode, and API access. EasyLlama sells courses per learner per year, with a 10-course minimum and assignments sold in increments of five, so it suits buyers comfortable purchasing course bundles. Zelo uses custom pricing based on editors and learners, with a Starter plan that includes one content editor and up to 10 active courses.

Benchmark Gensuite Training Management has Ready and Quick Start plans with custom pricing; NAVEX EthicsPoint Incident Management is another paid alternative.

Verdict

Choose Workhub if your organization needs training and day-to-day safety compliance records in the same system, especially when worksite screening and worker access matter. Its strongest case is breadth, backed by a free starting point and a paid plan with exports and location-based assignments. Look elsewhere if SCORM is essential or if the three-user Standard minimum and Free plan's export limits do not suit your team.
