How do I register for training?

Register for training through EHS Training. On the registration page, enter either your G# or first and last name. If you’ve attended training or registered with us in the past, the system should find a match for you. If not, click on the option to complete registration as a first-time registrant. After you’ve signed in or registered, you’ll be able to view all of our classes and their upcoming trainings.

Please note, EHS offers trainings to George Mason University Faculty, Staff, Students, Volunteers, Interns, Governor’s School students, and other affiliates. If you’re not sure if you can attend training through our office, please email safety@gmu.edu and we’ll be glad to assist you in answering any questions you may have about eligibility or required courses.

When is the next “_______” training being offered?

Please check our training schedule via the calendar. You’ll be able to view the upcoming trainings for all of our scheduled monthly trainings.

How can I receive confirmation of a completed training?

Please note we are modifying our training registration system. Training registration will be available August 1, 2022. Thank you for your patience. You can view and print your training history by signing into our registration system and selecting “View Training History.”

What does it mean if I am “waitlisted” when I register for a class?

Due to capacity of training rooms, facilities, and other factors, we do have to impose a limit to the number of seats available per class. Once a class has filled up, you can request to be added to the waitlist. Waitlisted attendees will be added to the list of registrants if and when a seat opens up*, in the order that they were added to the waitlist. Please note, if you are waitlisted when you register you are not actually signed up for that class. Please email safety@gmu.edu with any additional questions about being waitlisted for a class.

*Seats open in classes when registrants cancel their registration, or in some cases if the class size is able to be increased to accommodate waitlisted registrants. Class size increases depend on the space available in the room and the trainer’s discretion.

What trainings do I need to have completed to be eligible for BSL-2 Refresher or Lab Safety Refresher?

For BSL-2 Refresher: You must have completed BSL-2 Orientation and Laboratory Safety Orientation, or completed BSL-2 Biosafety Refresher within the past 12 months to be eligible to take the refresher course.

I have a group of students or employees who require training. Can we arrange a training session just for our group? If so, how do we go about getting one organized?

Sure! We always recommend checking our routine training schedule to see if there are any upcoming trainings with enough open seats to accommodate your group. If there are no classes with schedules that meet everyone’s needs, please submit a Group Training Request form.

Who can I contact if I have any other questions about the EHS training program?

Please contact EHS with any questions you have about the EHS training program, or with any general questions for the EHS office. We look forward to hearing from you!
