Select Agent and Toxin Annual Refresher Training

Online referesher training (via Canvas)

This training provides instruction on how to perform four types of hazard assessment: Personal Protective Equipment, Control Banding, Job Hazard Analysis, and 'What-If' Analysis.  Participants should bring with them one example of an experimental procedure or SOP that is currently being used by their workgroup.

The ‘Biosafety for Research Labs’ training module provides bloodborne pathogens (BBP) training that is appropriate ONLY for people working in biological/ biomedical research laboratories and related settings.   If you do not work in such a research laboratory or related setting, DO NOT TAKE THIS TRAINING MODULE TO FULFILL YOUR BBP TRAINING REQUIREMENT.

This comprehensive online module has replaced all previously-required CITI biosafety trainings for lab workers/researchers, AND can include Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) training for those who need it. 

To receive the BBP-inclusive version, answer YES to the question “Do you work with human/NHP materials (including human tissue cultures)?” when you register for the training.  Those who answer NO will receive biosafety training without BBP, so be sure you answer the question in accordance with your training needs.  If in doubt, answer YES to cover all contingencies.
Successful completion of this biosafety training without BBP will be recorded in your EHS training profile with a 3-year expiration.
Successful completion of the BBP-inclusive version of this training will give you credit for both biosafety and BBP training in your EHS training profile with a 1-year expiration.  In interim years when you take the training, the system will launch a BBP-only refresher for research laboratorians, NOT the full biosafety module.  The database will track your record and launch the full module every 3 years.

 The EHS Exempt Specimen Shipping module supplies required training for:

-- Classifying non-pathogenic or “exempt animal or human (patient) specimens” that have no other dangerous goods associated with them such as chemical (formalin, ethanol, buffers, etc.) and

-- Properly packaging them for shipping.

To be in compliance with regulations for shipping exempt specimens, you must receive documented training every two years.  You can be fined if you ship this type of material without being trained, or if your training has expired.

Some exempt specimens must be shipped with dry ice.  To ship with dry ice, documented training is also required.  Take EHS Dry Ice Shipping training to satisfy this requirement and to learn how to ship safely with dry ice.

The ‘Biosafety for Research Labs’ training module provides bloodborne pathogens (BBP) training that is appropriate ONLY for people working in biological/ biomedical research laboratories and related settings.   If you do not work in such a research laboratory or related setting, DO NOT TAKE THIS TRAINING MODULE TO FULFILL YOUR BBP TRAINING REQUIREMENT.
