“We fixed the problem, and these are the metrics that our partners at EHS were looking for. They wanted to strengthen the match between training and course-related risk, reduce training redundancy, improve the training alignment accuracy, capture stakeholder feedback, save time, and improve compliance. It’s all happening.”

Problem

The current system for assigning and tracking EHS safety training across the 23 CSU campuses is manual, inefficient, and fails to match course-specific risks with required trainings. Generic trainings ignore lab or workshop hazards, and the UC System struggles to get instructors to assign training, leading to a significant portion (up to 80%) of high-risk trainings being missed.

Technical Solution

The team developed an AI-driven solution that layers an AI agent (called SergAí) into Cal Poly’s existing enrollment system. SergAí can auto-assign required trainings based on course registrations, track completions and expirations, eliminate duplicate assignments, identify gaps from course outlines, send escalating reminders, collect stakeholder feedback, provide chatbot guidance on training, and enable cross-platform scalability.
