Training Requirements

Annual Training for WU faculty & staff

WU laboratory and clinical faculty, staff, and students working in laboratories are required to have annual documented training covering OSHA and EPA topics. Administrative and clerical staff are also required to have documented safety training. It is recommended that office staff attend Office Safety training at least once every three years. There are 3 alternatives to attending one of our scheduled interdepartmental sessions. EH&S can provide on-site training for groups of 50 or more, safety contacts can train their own department or lab after receiving "train-the-trainer" materials from EH&S, and staff can be trained with our on-line option at www.ehs.wustl.edu (see training on-line option). Off-site clinics may schedule training at their location by calling our office at 362-6816.

All new employees are required to attend the Human Resources Orientation which will now include Laboratory and Clinical Safety Training. Please call the Human Resource Department at 362-7196 to register. Orientation is offered each weekly.
