This would depend on which records you mean. I work for a utility
company. So for example anything to do with trainee details is 'HR in
Confidence' under company policy and because of various industrial agreement
clauses, and also possibly subject in Australia to privacy legislation.
Course content material could be confidential to people outside the company
if it were someone else's intellectual property eg if we 'bought in' a
commercial course. It would also be confidential if it were training about
something confidential, eg a senior manager training course on our strategic
plan, or our counter terrorism response plan. A course for field workers on
how to enter a depot site safely would also be confidential if it could
provide terrorists information on how to access our infrastructure. If it
were an in house-developed course of commercial potential we'd make
it 'Commercal in Confidence' in case we could sell it.

But we don't have a blanket ruling on training material - it depends, as
always, on content and context, and in this case also on who wants it.

Cheers

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked
and they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Harry Peck and Co and
Glenn". Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
