Overview
The Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) web-based training system is a standalone system and does not have pre-loaded NU IDs. Therefore, the first time you take EHS web-based training you will need to provide your NU ID, name, department, and email.
NOTE: This training is not configured to be taken on a mobile phone, tablet or notebook. They are not supported, therefore if you try to take EHS online training using a mobile phone/tablet/notebook and experience issues, discontinue and take on a PC or Mac. The Internet Explorer (IE) browser is no longer supported. Use Edge now if you had been using IE.
All EHS web-based courses currently available are listed below with the entry links on the left. On the right information is provided as to who should take the course, approximate time to complete the training module, and links to supplemental materials (if applicable).
To take EHS web-based training you will need your my.UNL or myred login and password as well as your NU ID number. Upon successful completion of your training an email will be sent to the email address you provide so enter your email address carefully. If you do not provide an "@unl.edu" or "@huskers.unl.edu" email, the confirmation might go into your email's junk/spam folder. A confirmation email is sent ONLY to those who pass the course and furnish a valid email address. To ensure you have a record, you may wish to print the Confirmation Page showing successful completion.
For questions or assistance contact EHS by email ehs@unl.edu. If experiencing issues with access, there are multiple steps to follow which will be emailed to you in response.
