Updates:
ATTENTION!
Due to the move of training resources to WaveWorks, some training modules may not be immediately available on March 20. Please be patient as OEHS works to migrate and consolidate training with updated content to better serve the Tulane community. Some OEHS resources still reference TULearn/Bridge and are being updated.
The three mandatory annual fire safety courses from Bridge/TULearn (Emergency and Fire Preparedness, Portable Fire Extinguishers, and Emergency Action Plans) have been condensed into a single course in WaveWorks called "Fire Safety - OEHS". The course "Hazard Communication - OEHS" is also available in WaveWorks and is also required to be completed annually. On Monday, April 20, all Staff and Faculty who are currently overdue for completion of either of these courses will receive an email notification from WaveWorks to complete them. Their supervisors will also get notifications. Please complete these courses as soon as possible.
All Student Employees now have access to WaveWorks and will receive similar notifications on Monday. They will receive notifications even if they completed their training in Canvas (records from Canvas are not able to be uploaded into WaveWorks). Student Employees will need to complete the training in WaveWorks. Students who are not employees will continue to use Canvas for safety training.
More information is available at https://oehs.tulane.edu/training. Contact OEHS@tulane.edu with questions about the training content. Contact acassell@tulane.edu with questions about assignment of the training.
OEHS has purchased SciShield to support Tulane Lab Safety programs. Please visit the website to update your lab group: tulane.scishield.com
Pleas Note that SciShield is not a part of WaveWorks and must be accessed via it's own website.
Mold and Indoor Air Quality Investigations
OEHS and Facilities Services collaborate on mold and indoor air quality investigations to ensure that the root cause of the moisture intrusion or odor is addressed. The most efficient way to ensure that mold and indoor air quality concerns are addressed is to submit a Service Wave to Campus Services. OEHS engages directly with Campus Services.
First Report of Injuries
The injury and illness reporting process for employees has changed. Immediately following a workplace injury, notify your supervisor and call the Employee Injury Call Center at (855) 433-9938 to speak with a registered nurse. The registered nurse will evaluate your incident and determine care.
New Resources:
- Please review the Safety Checklist for Telework Employees if you are performing telework.
- Please review the Annual Laboratory Safety Inspection Prep Checklist
