INITIAL SAFETY TRAINING
As employees of the University of Minnesota, the Department
of Chemistry is required to provide you with initial safety
training. You may complete this initial training via web-based
tutorials or by taking the “in person” training
provided by the Department of Environmental Health and Safety
(DEHS).
WEB-BASED INITIAL TRAINING
You may satisfy your initial safety training by viewing three
web-based tutorials and successfully completing a short quiz
for each. These tutorials cover the following subjects:
- Introduction to Research Safety
- Chemical Safety
- Chemical Waste Management
To access the tutorials go to:
http://www.dehs.umn.edu/training_newlabsafety.htm
Click on one of the tutorials - you
will need to enter your Internet ID and password - and follow
the on-screen instructions. Each tutorial concludes with
a short quiz. If you successfully complete this quiz, you
will receive an email stating that "a
record of your training has been entered into your University
training record". Please forward this email to: chuck1
IN-PERSON INITIAL TRAINING
You may also satisfy your initial safety training by participating
in a safety workshop called Laboratory Safety Training presented
by DEHS. To register go to:
http://www.dehs.umn.edu/training_labsafety.htm
If you take the in-person training you will
receive a certificate, a copy of which should be given to Chuck
Tomlinson, 139 Smith Hall. Again, a record of your training
will be kept in the central PeopleSoft data base.
If you have any questions contact Chuck or
Dawn. Thanks.

REFRESHER SAFETY TRAINING
Annual refresher safety training is required for faculty,
staff, and students who work with and/or handle chemicals.
This training is usually held in the late spring or summer
and will be announced.
