This is a great idea.

One of the things that Finance people do is force employees to have short computer-based trainings every year. They seem stupid and bother everyone, but I think they are fairly effective (and they've been going on for years, so they must have proven some level of effectiveness).

Health insurance providers could be forced to have parents do a yearly 1-hour training on how to handle kids to enable benefits.

You're not going to solve the biggest problems, just like SEC trainings don't prevent money laundering, but whateveer moves the needle a little bit may be worth doing...

In reducing the liability of the company that is forcing it's employees to take the course. As for actual behavioral change, that is often not the case.
