Environmental Health & Safety
Training
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires
that all employees be properly trained as to the health hazards and safety risks
in their environment. It is with this in mind that TSRI offers safety training
in a variety of fields. Basic orientation and safety training are required for
all employees and an annual refresher is required throughout the individual's
employment.
Various other safety training programs are available through the
EH&S department. Some can be completed on-line however others
involve attending an appropriate class. A schedule
of our classroom based trainings can be found here.
We also have an extensive library of safety
related videos covering a wide range of topics which can be checked out by
anyone wishing more information. For your convenience, we hope to eventually
have web-based training for all situations where it is practical to do so.
EH&S is available to provide laboratory or department-specific
training to your group. Contact the Safety
Coordinator assigned to your area to arrange for group training. For further
questions please contact the main office at x4-8240.

Biosafety Training Courses
In consort with the Institutional Biosafety Committee, web-based biosafety
training is now available in the following topics.
Microbiological Hazard Training
Bloodborne Pathogen Training
Radiation Safety Orientation
Prior to working with radioactive materials, all persons must attend the Radiation
Safety Training Orientation. The course is presented on the first
and third Monday of each month in the Molecular Biology Committee
Lecture Hall. The course is from 1-3pm and there is a mandatory
test. Pre-registration is not required.
Note: If an institutionally recognized holiday falls on
the first or third Monday of the month, the effected course will be cancelled;
please plan accordingly.
Prior to working with X-Ray producing machinery, all persons must
complete the specific training course offered by the EH&S department.
This training is available online or by request. Please contact
us at 4-8240 if you have any questions.
Annual Refresher Safety Training
One mechanism to fulfill the annual refresher training requirement
is by contacting the Safety
Coordinator assigned to your area to arrange lab specific training.
Laboratories are allowed to conduct their own safety training as long as they
cover all required information. The EH&S
sign-in sheet must be used for documentation purposes. A copy
of this sign-in sheet must be forwarded to the EH&S office upon
completion of training. These required topics can be found in the
TSRI Safety Standards
and sample Powerpoint slides will be available on this site soon.
For other alternatives contact the EH&S office at x4-8240.
It is anticipated that specific refresher training for Administrative Assistants
will be offered on a quarterly basis on or about the second Monday
in the months of February, May, August, and November. Announcements
will be emailed when finalized dates and times are determined.
Note: If an institutionally recognized holiday falls on
the first or third Monday of the month, the effected course will
be cancelled; please plan accordingly.
