TRAINING

Safety Training

Environmental Health and Safety training is conducted in three phases at UNCG. New employees are required to attend New Employee Orientation, where they will receive safety and health instruction as a part of the day-long classroom Human Resources Services training. Upon return to their work environment, employees should complete the New Employee Training Checklist. This will involve individual training conducted by a supervisor and online or classroom training specific to the employee’s work environment.

Online Training Modules

Laboratory

Information on laboratory-related training can be found on the Lab Safety webpage.

Clinical

Safe working environments do not occur by chance; they result from the use of proper equipment, the implementation of effective policies, and adherence to safe work practices. The clinical staff at UNCG is dedicated to ensuring a safe work environment for all employees. It is crucial for every staff member to be aware of and follow safe work practices. Please review each of the online training modules to learn how to perform your work safely. Additionally, your supervisor will provide further training that is tailored to the specific tasks you perform.
