Training

To support you in preparing to study, work, and travel off-campus, the Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) offers training online (via Teams and/or through START) and in-person. Please review this chart (PDF, 85 KB) or the information below to determine which EHS training you are required to complete based on your role under OCASP and your planned off-Campus Activity.​

In addition to EHS training, your Department/Faculty may require additional training. Activity Planners or Persons in Authority may wish to consult EHS to identify what additional training should be provided to Participants.
