NEW! EH&S On-lineTraining!

EH&S is now offering training classes on-line through the Blackboard e-Education platform. Taking the classes on-line provides the same "credit" that you get when you attend the "live" classroom version.

The classes that will be available on-line include:

• Lab Safety - Chemical Hazards (ELS 002) Available now!
• Laboratory Supervisor Safety (ELS 017) Available now!
• Lab Safety - Biological Hazards Refresher (ELS 020)

• Bloodborne Pathogens (EOS 04)
