Training
Training plays an important role in EH&S’s efforts to create a safe environment for the university community, while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Meeting safety and training requirements is a cooperative effort:
- Employees are responsible for performing their work in a safe and responsible manner. Knowledge of appropriate safe work procedures and safety rules is essential.
- Supervisors are responsible for providing and documenting the initial and continuing safety training necessary to allow employees to perform their work safely. This must include frequent work observations by the supervisor and prompt correction of unsafe work habits.
- Departments at Iowa State are responsible for meeting regulatory requirements, keeping work areas hazard-free, and ensuring that employees have completed all safety training requirements.
If you have questions about safety training for you or your departments, please contact EH&S at 294-5359.
