How can I receive training?
In Person 
- Classroom delivery by EHS. Generally by request.
Canvas Catalog (online)
Available to anyone with a NetID. Courses posted here often serve employee and student needs. Canvas Catalog is different than the traditional Canvas space. It allows us to generate certificates for course completion.
To access the EHS Canvas Catalog site:
Canvas (online)
Accessible to anyone with a NetID, Canvas currently supports topics limited to laboratory research.
To access the EHS Canvas site:
You can also find the EHS canvas site by logging into Canvas https://utk.instructure.com. From the Menu select Courses, All Courses, then Browse More Courses to find the EHS course.
k@te (online)
(only to be used by regular UT employees and graduate students; it is not accessible to undergraduate student employees.)
k@te hosts third-party content created by Open Sesame as well as courses created specifically for the UTK audience by EHS.
Visit the K@TE site by logging in here.
External Sources (online or in-person)
In some cases third party or external sources for training are used. Visit our external training resource page for some options.
On-the-Job Training (OJT) 
This can include specific chemical, process, or equipment safety training.
Records
Some regulations may require a style of delivery or a formal assessment of skills or a test. Some may be provided by EHS and some may be delivered by your supervisor.
How do I keep records?
Training records are currently the responsibility of each department to maintain. k@te training is automatically recorded in DASH, but certificates and transcripts can be generated.
Canvas records should be kept via a download or printout of your grades. Canvas is not a permanent record storage location.
Canvas Catalog courses generate certificates that can be downloaded or printed.
