Training
EHS is proud to offer several online safety trainings. Use the information offered in this website to determine which trainings you need to take.
EHS does not control card access. Once you are done with your safety trainings, you will need to find your respective department Administrative Assistant who will assist you in getting laboratory card access.

Which training do I take?
Student, Employee, or Other?
EHS defines employees as individuals who are paid by the university. This includes part-time and full-time staff, faculty, and any student or graduate student who is paid by the university for work or research.
EHS defines students or "other" as individuals who are not paid by the university. This includes volunteers, visiting scholars or researchers, or other individuals who are not on university payroll.
