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 webpages and resources still reference TULearn/Bridge and are being updated. Please email OEHS@tulane.edu with any questions about training.
Note that Student Employees will now use WaveWorks to access training, instead of Canvas. Canvas will continue to be available to students who are not classified as Student Employees.
Proper training is essential to ensure the safety of all personnel and maintain compliance with regulations. Below is an overview of the training requirements for all lab members:
Mandatory Training
All Tulane personnel must complete the following mandatory training courses via WaveWorks (Employees, Student Employees) or Canvas (Students who are not Employees):
