Student Training

Hazard exposure is quantified by EH&S in two primary tiers which is used to quantify risk and determine when specialized safety training may be applicable. The following is a general overview of the different classification tiers used to determine the applicability of relevant student safety training.

Tier 1- Activities involving the use of hazardous materials, chemicals, and/or equipment. This category includes all University learning operations both within and outside a classroom or laboratory, including those that generate or accumulate hazardous waste streams.

Tier 2- Activities that occur only within a classroom environment and does not involve the use of hazardous materials, chemicals, waste and/or equipment that may result in a serious injury as defined by 8 CCR 3202.

he following topics should be assigned to any students working in lab environments involving the use of biological materials or medical waste.

Step 1: Students will need to log-in to the SumTotal training portal.
