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.
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 at 402.472.4925 or email ehs@unl.edu.

Training Needed
At a minimum, employees must also complete the following EHS training: Core-Injury and Illness Prevention Plan and Core-Emergency Preparedness. If working with chemicals you must take either Chemical Safety (4-unit training) or the Chemical Safety training targeted toward certain worker types. When certain hazards are associated with tasks the employee performs, other EHS related training is required. Examples include: potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens, respirator use, forklift operation, ionizing radiation, confined space entry, etc. Additional guidance is available in the EHS document Training Needs Assessment for EHS-Related Topics.
