The university requires certain safety training classes to be completed before work can begin depending on the area and type of activity.

Required Classes

The link here will take you to UK Environmental Health and Safety's Training site. Please pick the appropriate category that your status falls under and complete the required trainings designated in their guide.

Lab-Specific Training

All lab members are required to receive lab specific training before beginning work. This training must be administered by the principal investigator (PI) or their designee (e.g. lab supervisor).

In order to help with this process, EHS provides a form to document this in the lab safety binder. This must be completed for each lab member and kept in the lab safety binder for compliance. Once lab specific training is completed initially, please use this form to track and complete refresher trainings.

Record of Training

All members of the lab must have training records in the lab safety binder. To document these records, please print an online safety class transcript for each lab member and place a copy in the binder.
