Exactly!! I had to take a class on this stuff when I was in the Navy, and then every year, just in case it slipped my mind.

Same, only I was in healthcare. I worked at a hospital at the bedside as a nursing assistant. Every year, same continuing education modules. SDS, fire safety, electrical safety, weather preparedness, HIPAA compliance, and avoiding phishing/ransomware scams on the company network. Each one drilled into our heads with quizzes that required 100% correct answers to pass. Our continued employment was directly tied to the completion of these and other medically-relevant modules, yearly. For every single employee, down to the front desk people. Even the volunteers were required to do them.

But then again, when I worked at a nursing home as a CNA, I never had any sort of onboarding like that, and they didn’t even see the need in getting me certified in CPR and Basic Life Support, so I suppose the bar is raised a bit high here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
