The UW Office of Research coordinates with Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) and other UW units and departments to maintain a research-related Required Training webpage. These training courses help personnel conducting research at the UW to comply with external sponsor and internal requirements and/or reduce risk to the researcher.
The Environmental Health & Safety Department (EH&S) offers more than 80 training courses, both online and in person, covering a wide range of health and safety topics. Many of these courses are required by federal and state regulatory agencies and funding agencies based on specific work activities to help ensure workplace, environmental, and research safety and compliance. Most EH&S courses are available at no cost to UW personnel.
Follow these steps to access EH&S online safety and compliance courses.
