Upcoming Trainings
Occupational Health and Safety
The purpose of this training is to teach you how to limit workplace exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF) at the University of Oregon (UO). You will learn where RF sources are, how RF energy exposure occurs, and ways you can avoid RF exposure.
The purpose of this training is to provide safety training information to employees who use respirators to protect themselves from respiratory hazards. Respirators will be used in situations where engineering and administrative controls cannot be feasibly implemented and in some cases where an employee chooses to use a respirator even when one is not required.
Lab Safety and Hazardous Waste
Lab Safety and Hazardous Waste Management and Fire Protection in Labs trainings are required for anyone working in, volunteering in, or using a UO laboratory. These courses are open to UO employees, students, volunteers, visiting scholars, Innovation Center tenants, and anyone else using UO lab facilities.
Anyone unable to access MyTrack or attend an in-person Lab Safety training if offered, should reach out to EHS for an alternative format.
This one-hour in-person refresher training is required annually.
This two-hour in-person course is taught by EHS staff and should be taken prior to beginning lab work, or as soon as possible after joining a lab.
This online training covers lab fire protection systems, fire extinguishers, fire safety best practices, and expectations for response should a fire occur.
Featured Safety Sheets
Safety & Risk Services has developed a series of safety sheets to provide UO employees with information on specific hazards, environmental health issues, and best practices. Find an A-Z list of downloadable safety sheets in English or Spanish.
