Safety Training Documentation
Safety Training is implemented in a two-phased approach. The first phase includes generalized safety training, which often is provided and documented by EHS, while the second phase of the safety training includes the job-specific training normally offered on the jobsite and documented by the supervisor or manager.
Upload documentation for job-specific and research-specific training provided by PIs.
Employees, students, contractors and guests under the requirements of safety training are responsible for completing all required safety training (including, but not limited to, training outlined necessary by EHS and departmental/specific safety training).
Documentation related to safety training will vary based upon the provider of the safety training, along with the type or method of training (examples: instructor-led, computer-based, or direct peer-to-peer training).
It is the responsibility of the individual receiving the safety training to provide documentation of their training to their supervisor, once training is successfully completed. Supervisors must maintain this record as documentation of successful completion of safety training.
Documentation of computer-based safety training offered through Skillsoft Training Academy (“The Academy”) can be obtained by the account holder logging into the system and selecting “View Transcript”. Listed are steps for accessing a training transcript on The Academy.
Additionally, there are ways for employees to document training for your supervisor or Laboratory PI. See below for steps to provide access to copies of your training transcript or certificates through current campus resources.
- Recommended procedures for employees to document training through the UA LMS as External Training:
- Note: This process will allow any employee the ability to upload a copy of their certificate or a copy of their transcript (example, Training Academy Transcript) for review by their direct supervisor. Only direct supervisors will have access to review external training documentation.
- This is a recommended procedure for an employee to provide training verification to their supervisor when training is offered through Skillsoft Skillport Training Academy or another third party.
- For additional instructions on uploading External Training into UA LMS.
- Recommended procedures for employees to document training through the SciShield Lab Group Profile:
- Note: This process will allow any laboratory personnel to document training completions through the SciShield Group Profile.
- This is a recommended procedure for a laboratory member to provide training verification to their Lab PI when training is offered through Skillsoft Skillport Training Academy or another third party.
- For additional instructions on uploading External Training into SciShield.
- For Instructions on Viewing Training Documentation once it has been uploaded into a Lab Group Profile on SciShield, please review here.
