Other Safety Training Programs
Check DU's Environmental Health & Safety website for training for University employees covering a number of general safety topics. Because of the hazards associated with their job duties, many DU employees are required by law to attend safety training. Some training is offered online and usually requires a short quiz to be taken to verify comprehension.
