4.4 Obtaining Training

On this page:
4.4.1 Web-based Training
4.4.2 EHS Office and DLC Classroom Training
4.4.3 Laboratory/Workplace Specific Training

MIT has several mechanisms through which the required EHS training can be received. The course content in each of the methods remains the same for each required course. If only a classroom-based course is available to a trainee, then the trainee is directed via the web to the on-line class registration tool, or directed to a contact person to coordinate the training.

4.4.1 Web-based Training

If a web-based training course is available and allowed by their DLC(s), the trainees can proceed directly to the course(s) after the Training Needs Assessment is completed. Some DLCs require live training as well as permitting web-based training. The core content is consistent in each method. When the web-based training course is successfully completed, the results of the training are automatically captured in the EHS Central Training Records Database.

4.4.2 EHS Office and DLC Classroom Training

After the Training Needs Assessment is completed, the trainees can access the schedule for classroom-based training courses offered by both the EHS Office and specific DLCs. The content for these classes is broadly applicable throughout DLCs and is the same as the web-based training, but delivered in a classroom format where the trainee can interact with the instructor. The instructor is responsible for submitting training attendance documentation to the EHS or DLC Training Registrar for uploading to the Central Training Records Database.

4.4.3 Laboratory/Workplace-Specific Training

Laboratory and/or workplace-targeted EHS training is provided directly by the PI/Supervisor, EHS Representative or other designated individual to meet these specialized training needs and requirements. The EHS Coordinator submits the training attendance documentation to the EHS Office for inclusion in the EHS Central Training Records Database.
