The U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center is proud to announce a significant leap forward in safety education for the force. A new, integrated safety training capability is now available to all Soldiers and Department of the Army civilians, providing on-demand access to a vast library of self-paced online courses.

For the first time, the Army has integrated modern safety training directly with the Army Safety Management Information System (ASMIS 2.0). This powerful connection gives users access to more than 400 courses through the Percipio learning platform. To streamline the training experience, a new Skill Subject, “ASMIS 2.0 Related Courses,” has been created. This category features 176 individual courses, organized into 28 sub-categories, that directly align with the training controls found in the ASMIS 2.0 Supervisor Portal’s Activity Hazard Analysis tool. Course topics span a wide range of essential subjects, from first aid to hazard communication (HAZCOM).

This new capability delivers two primary benefits to the force. First, it eliminates the need for supervisors to spend valuable time searching for or developing essential safety training. Second, Soldiers and civilian employees can now complete their training any time they have access to a government computer or an alternate method for accessing the U.S. Army network. This provides a single, reliable training source for safety officers to reference when guiding personnel.

“Our teaming with Skillsoft in the integration of their Percipio platform within ASMIS 2.0 to provide the most relevant and up-to-date safety training is a huge step forward for the Army,” said John Nelson, ASMIS 2.0 program director. “We are making the training library available to our ASMIS users at no cost and will provide this as an integral part of the ASMIS 2.0 baseline going forward. This eliminates the need for safety professionals, supervisors and employees to find the training that pertains to their job series and the hazards that are inherent to those jobs.”

It is critical for all users to understand that this online training supplements — but does not replace — the need for hands-on, site-specific familiarization. For example, after completing the HAZCOM or fire extinguisher training in Percipio, a supervisor is still required to provide an orientation on the organization's specific emergency action plans, standard operating procedures, and the location of hazardous materials or fire extinguishers.

To access the new system:

1. Log in to ASMIS 2.0 (https://asmis2.safety.army.mil/Home) and select "Safety Training" from the menu on the left.
2. On the next page, click “Launch Training In Percipio Now.”
3. You will be automatically logged into Percipio in a new browser tab.
4. From the Percipio landing page, select "Library" to search for your desired course.

Once a course is completed and the final evaluation is passed, the credit will be recorded in your Percipio profile. You can view your completed courses and download certificates by visiting the “My Learning” section. Please note that users are responsible for maintaining their own training certificates, as completion status does not currently transfer back to ASMIS 2.0.

This initiative sets the stage for the future. A "Safety Training" activity, which will allow leaders to manage training requirements at the organizational level, is already in development with an anticipated release in early FY27. This launch is just the first step in providing a more efficient, effective and accessible safety program for the entire U.S. Army.

“With Armywide release of the ASMIS SOH Training module in Q1-Q2 FY27, this safety training will be effectively integrated into the employee portal and will enable assignment of training based on identified hazards within units, teams and activities,” Nelson said. “Upon final release, certificates earned through completion of training courses will be automatically generated and available through the ASMIS Employee Portal and this will enable the key training compliance data at all levels of the Army. We are excited to see this capability move forward and the benefits it brings are significant.
