Environment + Safety Training
Safety is a core value in the U of A's Culture of Care safety action plan. Training and establishing competency in a skill contribute to a safe workplace, ensuring that every member of our community goes home safely each day.
The Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS), is a framework of policy, procedure, and program-level documents in support of safe working and learning activities at the U of A. Training and competency is an important element of the HSEMS to provide the skills to enhance health and safety practices.
U of A senior administrators, supervisors, staff, faculty, post-docs and students conducting university-related activities must be trained and competent to do so. Review the Training and Competency Assignment of Accountability, Procedure, and program document open in a new tab to learn more.
