At EHS we are dedicated to promoting a safe environment for our students and staff to learn and work.

We recognize that the training needs of one department can be very different from another, which is why we personalize your department's training to meet your needs. We can schedule your training to be held in a specific location, or we will come to your office, lab, or workspace to provide the training that you need. Just let us know how we can help!

Registrations for training courses provided by EHS are taken via e-mail, or telephone. Please contact Julie Wilson, at 593-9428, or e-mail at wilsonj2@ohio.edu to request a class.
