Spotlight on Safety
September 2020 | Laboratory Safety
Research is a key part of our campus community. As the new academic year approaches, it is a great time for laboratory and research personnel to take a few moments for safety. One way to do this is to check training records to ensure all certifications are up to date. There are many courses that have an annual, bi-annual or other retraining frequency. The most common safety training to check certification dates are: Laboratory Safety Fundamentals (retraining three years), Fire Extinguishers (annual), Hazardous Materials and Waste Management (annual).
Here’s how to check training records:
• Log into the UCR Learning Center
• Select “Transcripts & Certificates”
• Change date range to: “All”
• Certifications that have an expiration date will show in the expiration column.
*You can take a course before the expiration date.
Risk Management
Risk Management is the comprehensive approach to identifying & managing the full range of risks the University faces. The focus is not on simply reducing or avoiding the cost of risk, but on evaluating risks and potential hazards systematically.
