General Laboratory Chemical Safety Training (i.e., Lab Safety Training)

A mandatory training for laboratory employees who work with hazardous chemicals, as specified by OSHA.

RM&S has transitioned to an online training class. If you are an employee (getting a paycheck) in a lab, an active student, or a registered department sponsored visitor with a UA NetID, you can take the class by visiting http://safety.arizona.edu/LCSM/ and logging in using your UA NetID. Follow the directions for "training" to complete the course.

Please encourage your PI to register the lab by having him/her login on the same page and follow the instructions for PIs.

Let us know if you have any problems logging on or have any questions regarding the training. This program is in its infancy, so feedback is requested (you'll see that on one of the pages) and valued.

For information, contact Herb Wagner at 621-7691 or hwagner@email.arizona.edu.

High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Training (register on-line)

The HOV training program has been modified to meet State of Arizona requirements. HOVs are defined as any full size van or Sport Utility Vehicle with seating capacity of 8-15, and full size cargo vans. Minivans and SUVs with seating capacity of less than 8 do NOT require HOV driver training or certification.

All HOV drivers (faculty, staff, students, volunteers) must attend a classroom training session, AND successfully complete a behind-the-wheel road test conducted by RM&S or other authorized observer. Road tests conducted by RM&S are scheduled separately from the classroom training, and must be done by appointment. The behind-the-wheel road test takes about 30 minutes to complete. Departments may conduct the behind-the-wheel road test at their own convenience with their own staff upon prior approval and authorization by RM&S. Those interested in conducting their own behind-the-wheel road tests should contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or murphjoh@email.arizona.edu for orientation and approval. For details on these new requirements, and other important policy changes, see the new UA Fleet Safety Policy.

Classes are subject to cancellation or re-scheduling based on the number of registrations received.
