Training Requirements
Training requirements are established by internal guidelines, regulatory agencies, and other oversight groups and is comprised of online (eNDeavor) courses and in-person (Lab Specific) hands-on training. To have eNDeavor training assigned, contact your PI, lab manager, or the Safety Training Team.
The Training Needs Assessment form is used to determine the exact training requirements (depending on the lab's scope of work, the types of materials used, and the equipment operated), as well as identify potential training gaps.
