When an instructor provides training that adheres to all relevant federal, state/provincial, and local regulations and policies, they are primarily fulfilling their obligation to the organization they represent. This is because organizations, such as fire departments or training institutions, rely on instructors to deliver training that complies with legal and regulatory standards. Adhering to these regulations is essential to ensure the safety of trainees, maintain the credibility and reputation of the organization, and mitigate liability risks associated with non-compliance.

While the instructor's training also benefits the students, community, and other instructors, the direct responsibility to ensure that training meets regulatory standards is fundamentally tied to the organization. Compliance reflects the organization's commitment to quality and adherence to best practices in training, which in turn helps to develop competent and compliant personnel within the organization.
