Safety Training

Mandatory for all staff, TAs, sessionals, faculty and research personnel

The following training modules are required for everyone to complete before you begin your work:

SFU Safety Orientation* - complete every 3 years
*If you have already completed SFU-EHS Safety Essentials Training, this course can be skipped as SFU Safety Orientation is included in SFU-EHS Safety Essentials Training.

Respectful Working and Learning Environments - complete once

Please note that hard-copy certificates of completion are not issued for the above training modules - you will receive confirmation of completion via Canvas.
