Upcoming Trainings
Occupational Health and Safety
Many employees at the University complete material handling tasks during the scope of their work. This includes tasks that require lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or stacking objects. This course will share actual UO material handling injury data and cover injury causes, prevention techniques, what to do if items fall, and where to find additional resources.
Wildfire smoke collects in the Southern Willamette Valley due to a combination of factors including the geography of the valley, the location of wildfires, and weather patterns during nearby active fires. The university has developed a Wildfire Smoke Exposure Control Plan to prepare for future wildfire smoke events.
