Q&A's
Who do I contact for general questions about safety
training?
Contact Jessica Drew de Paz, Environmental Health & Safety's
Training Coordinator, at drewj@uci.edu or
(949) 824-6634.
What
safety trainings am I required to take?
To determine
your required and recommended safety training, log into TED
(http:
www.ted.uci.edu ).
If you have not done so already, complete the Safety Training
Self-Assessment that automatically appears. Upon submittal of
the categories and activities that describe your work, you will
be given a list of your required and (if applicable) recommended
safety training. If you already completed the Self-Assessment
and would like to access your results, or if you would like to
update your responses because your job duties have changed, link
to the “My Desktop” tab, then “Required Training.”
Why do I have to take these trainings?
Training
requirements and recommendations are based on California Occupational
Safety & Health Administration (CAL/OSHA) standards.
CAL/OSHA determines what types of training employees need, and
EH&S offers those to you as a service.
I took a similar training at another institution . .
. does the credit transfer?
For the majority of the safety
training courses, credit does not transfer from other institutions.
The one exception is Radiation Safety Part 2, but determination
of this is considered on a case-by-case basis. To find out if you
meet the requirements for Radiation Safety Part 2 credit, contact
Debbie Hamano (UCI's Radiation Safety Officer) at dhamano@uci.edu or
(949) 824-1081.
Why is it that some training courses, such as HIPAA,
are not identified as required upon completing the Safety Training
Self-Assessment in TED?
The Safety Training Self-Assessment
only identifies required and recommended training offered through
EH&S. HIPAA, short
for the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act,
is not an EH&S training.
I took a training course, but haven't been given credit
yet on my transcript. How long will this take?
For classroom courses, it takes about one week for your transcript
to be updated. Online courses differ. Some give immediate credit
upon course completion. Other online courses (noted in the course
description) are linked to outside vendors, which may take up
to two weeks to update your transcript. If you would like to
check on a course that is not reflected on your transcript, and
you believe this is in error, contact Alice Lee at alicecl@uci.edu or
(949) 824-4815.
Does all safety training reside within TED?
TED ( http://www.ted.uci.edu )
hosts training courses offered by many UCI departments, including
general safety training offered by EH&S. It does not, however,
host work unit specific safety training. Work unit specific training
addresses hazards and processes found only in your work unit.
Ask you supervisor and/or your Safety on Site (SOS) Representative
for information on your work unit specific training. For more
information on the SOS program, link here: http://www.ehs.uci.edu/programs/iipp/ .
How far back was the data entered into TED?
TED
( http://www.ted.uci.edu )
was launched in the fall of 2004. At that time, safety training
records were back loaded from 2001-2004. Many of the records
that occurred prior to that time were considered out of compliance
if the course had a recertification of 3 years or less. If you
completed a course prior to 2001 that has no recertification
requirement and you would like to see this reflected on your
transcript, or if you believe that a course from any time period
is missing from your transcript, contact Alice Lee at alicecl@uci.edu or
(949) 824-4815.
What are “External Learning Events”?
“External
Learning Events” is a feature that allows you to add
accomplishments achieved outside of the site to your transcript.
These accomplishments can include courses, seminars, talks, and
other forms of learning. To add External Learning Events to your
transcript, log into TED ( http://www.ted.uci.edu ),
select the “My Desktop” tab, then “External Learning Events.” Then,
follow the instructions.
I am trying to complete an online
training, but I am having technical difficulties. What should
I do?
For assistance, contact Manjeet Randhawa at mrandhawa@uci.edu or
(949) 824-8805.
Someone is listed as my direct report, but I do not
supervisor that person. How do I remove this name from my list?
If one or more people identify you as their supervisor
upon logging into TED (http://www.ted.uci.edu ),
you will have access to a new tab within TED entitled “My staff.” To
remove someone from your direct report list, contact them and
ask that they update their supervisor in TED. To do so, they
need to select the “My Desktop” tab, then “Update Profile,” at
which point they would type in their current supervisor's email
address.
How do I get to Environmental Health & Safety
(EH&S)?
EH&S is Building 41 on the campus
map . From the main campus, take East or West Peltason
to Bison Avenue and head toward the 73 freeway. Turn left at
California Avenue (a signal). Turn left at the 1 st stop sign
(no street name). EH&S, a barn-shaped building with a red
roof, is on the immediate right.
What type of parking is available at EH&S?
There
are two types of parking available at EH&S: meters
(15 minutes per quarter) and permit. The following campus permits
are valid at EH&S Monday-Friday from 7:00 am – 12:00 am:
C, CP/AR, S/Visitor, R, MX, MED. Temporary permits are available
for $2 per hour (bill accepted, exact change required) at a yellow
box in Parking Lot 83 ( campus
map ), located off of Bison Avenue and Health Sciences Road.
To investigate which UC Irvine Medical Center permits are valid
at EH&S, link to the reciprocity chart on the Parking & Transportation
Services website ( http://www.parking.uci.edu/permits/reciprocity.cfm ).
EH&S also honors quarter and annual faculty/staff permits
from other University of California campuses for the purpose
of short-term visits.
Why do I have to pay to park at EH&S?
UCI's
Parking & Transportation Department does not receive
state funds for parking facilities, certain roadways, and maintenance.
Therefore, they rely on permit revenue to fund these projects.
Given that EH&S is on university grounds, it is included
in lots charged for parking.
