EHS&RM offers a variety of training programs and resources to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. State and Federal laws require UAF to develop and maintain an effective occupational health and safety program and assure compliance with occupational protection regulations. The programs that have been developed are designed to fulfill regulations and to promote safe practices in the workplace and academic setting.

Safety training classes are offered in a number of ways at UAF.

1. In a classroom setting
2. Via web access - www.uaf.edu/safety
3. Via Skillsoft - Provides comprehensive e-learning solutions through online courses and web based training. Currently, there are over 100 environmental, health, and safety training topics available. This self-paced program is a great way to accomplish safety training on your schedule. There is a five minute SkillPort flash tour of the program which can be found here to help familiarize you with the program. Once familiar with the program, there are two ways to access the Skillsoft training site:
   1. Log into UAonline (must log into the secured area) here, or
   2. By logging in through the Statewide HR Website here
   The login requires the UA user name or ID number and the MyUA Portal/EDIR password. If you do not know your user name or password, follow the directions on the site or contact your local helpdesk or call center for assistance. From there, click on "Employee Services", then "Employee E-Learning" and finally, click on the Skillsoft link; you will see a "Submit" button, click that and you are in! To access the classes you need, click on "Catalog" (near the top of the page), then click on "Environmental, Safety and Health, and Transportation Curricula." Most, if not all, the classes you require will be found in the "Safety and Health" folder. Click on the safety topic you want and follow the instructions. Additionally, you can take courses from any of the other available curricula as they apply to your actual duties.

We recommend review of the following training matrix to determine what type of safety training your employees may be required to take. For required classes not listed below in the "training offered by EHS&RM", please contact EHS&RM and we will develop the training or out source the training if needed. It is the responsibility of the department to ensure their employees have the required safety training.

EHS&RM is available to assist departments in determining employee training requirements. Once the determinations have been made, EHS&RM can conduct training to ensure compliance with the regulations.
