Federal, state, and local laws require training on hazardous materials, pollution prevention, and workplace safety. These trainings ensure you can work safely, protect the environment, and meet legal requirements. The specific trainings you need depend on your job duties, the materials or equipment you use, and the hazards in your work area. To confirm which trainings apply to you, consult your supervisor, the Office of the Dean, or Environmental Health & Safety and Risk Management (EHS-RM).
