4.0 Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Training

MIT personnel who participate in, or oversee activities that are regulated because of potential risks to the environment, health, or safety must receive training appropriate to the regulated activity. This training must be completed prior to beginning the regulated activity.

Refresher training, also called retraining, may be required periodically if the trainee is engaged in specific activities. The EHS Office and DLC EHS Coordinators track the required training and retraining, and MIT personnel are informed when their retraining is due. A training needs assessment pairs regulated activities to training requirements. An expiration date is listed for those trainings where refresher training is required.

Individuals who intend to engage in EHS-regulated activity at MIT must register for training via the web-based EHS Training Needs Assessment. This includes MIT faculty, employees, researchers, students, and visiting scientists. Training needs for operational employees in the Department of Facilities, the Division of Student Life, and some sub-groups at Lincoln Laboratory are determined by their job title or functioninstead of the Training Needs Assessment.
