Supervisor definition“A supervisor may be a dean, department
head, director, manager, administrator or any other faculty or staff person who is in charge of one or more employees.
Supervisors are directly responsible and accountable for the welfare of employees and students assigned to them… one of the criteria for evaluation of administrative personnel shall be their administration of safety procedures and accident prevention efforts.”
(OSU Safety Policy and Procedures Manual SAF 103)

EH&S DatabaseEnvironmental Health and Safety Assistant
(EHSA)Training records are available (requires ONID
log-in) on-line for individuals and for supervisors for review only (no input)
Departments are required to keep safety training records on file. EHSA is one possible method to manage the information (search, report, etc.)

Looking AheadRequired Laboratory Worker Safety Training
In progress, to be offered/implemented Fall, 2010
Will run 1½ to 2 hoursWill be made up of 7-8 modules, including
Chemical use Best work practices Waste processing Emergency response

DUSC Seminar 13
BlackboardMaterial can be presented in many different
formats (Powerpoint, Word, video, etc.)ONID authentication requiredWeb links can be embeddedTesting is available
Multiple test formats Requirements can be customized (e.g. passing grade
required, acknowledgement only, etc.)Grades available for user review
Grade information/course completion may be downloaded (via an intermediate program) to EHSA
4/14/2010
DUSC Seminar 14
EH&S WebsiteUsing Drupal makes editing faster, easierONID log-in would not always be requiredTesting is possible; a grade center/completion
record would need to be devisedAutomation of completion/testing records
would need to be developed
4/14/2010
DUSC Seminar 15
Videotaped PresentationsTraining sessions provided in person by
EH&S could be recorded for posting on the web or through Blackboard
The written material (e.g. Powerpoint) would be included with the video
Viewers could rewind and repeat sections as needed

DUSC Seminar 16
Options for Training RecordsEnvironmental Health and Safety Assistant,
via EH&SThe information needs to get to EH&S
somehowThe department or business center still needs
to keep a record of the trainingEHSA records are university-wide; convenient
for individuals who change departmentsEHSA is already set up to track program-
specific training requirements and completions (animal handler, bloodborne pathogen, radioactive materials, etc.)4/14/2010
DUSC Seminar 17
Options for Training RecordsDepartmental/Business Center databases
Format could be based on EHSA fields (with EH&S’s assistance)
Portability issues between Business Centers/departments
Could include non-safety-related training, or department-specific training
Reports could be customizedAccess to information could be limited
according to department’s preferences
4/14/2010
DUSC Seminar 18
Options for Training RecordsOther considerations
Paper acknowledgement forms and/or testsGenerating certificates upon completion of on-
line trainingA grade or just completion of training can be
recordedEH&S can consolidate all safety training
records into EHSA, with viewing available to individuals and supervisors
Limitations on access to information

Time for Your Input (Training)Do you use Blackboard?
Do you like it?Do you know of more/better ways we could
employ it?What are its drawbacks?
Would you prefer a different format?Is web-based training desirable? Effective?
Do you know of more/better ways we could employ it?
What are the drawbacks?

Time for Your Input (Records)Do you know what records are currently kept
in your department?What information do you want and/or need to
keep?Do you have a system that is working for
you?Are you interested in having EH&S assist
you?
