Training

Environmental Health & Safety offers a number of training classes for faculty, staff and students. Most training is specific to the work you perform in your job at the University.

2015 Bloodborne Pathogen and Biomedical Waste Training migrates to UF’s myTraining. 

The annual BBP/BMW training is part of the federally-required program for all UF-affiliated individuals who are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

2015 BBP/BMS Training offerings will be available in myTraining with content for four audiences. 

1. UF_EHS850G for the General Audience (UF_BBPGENERAL)
2. UF_EHS850C for the Clinical Audience (UF_BBPCLINICAL)
3. UF_EHS850D for the Dentistry Audience (UF_BBPDENTAL)
4. UF_EHS850J for the Jacksonville Audience (UF_BBPJAX)

BBP Roles and Responsibilities cover several areas.

• Chairs and Directors assign a departmental training coordinator.
• BBP Training Coordinators, identified by their department, complete a BBP Train-the-Trainer course. They will then identify who needs the training, be available to answer site-specific BBP questions and track departmental compliance.  
• Department Security Administrators (DSA) provide security for each training coordinator as noted below .
  • UF_N_EL_REPORTER for myTraining that allows the coordinator to run reports in myTraining
  • DeptID setup for myUFL HRMS that designates which department they will coordinate
• Department Identity Coordinators affiliate non-employed individuals as Departmental Associates.
  Departmental Associate Affiliation for Identity Access Management (See How do I create a relationship to the Identity Registry?)
  • For non-employed students, the departmental associate relationship will be in addition to the default relationship with Registrar’s Office.
  • For volunteers, this relationship may be in addition to another department affiliation already established.

• Individuals with this occupational exposure, as Learners, will access the myTraining portal, register for and complete BBP/BMW course(s) based on their work area (audience). Most training will be done on-line in myTraining.  EH&S will offer at least two live classes early in the year and announce them as they are scheduled.
• Environmental Health and Safety’s Biological Safety Office administers the Bloodborne Pathogen Program for the University of Florida and monitors for University compliance.
