EHS training
EHS training raises the awareness of safe work practices, which is vital to prevent work-related injuries and keep Sun Devils safe. This webpage will assist with determining your training requirements and provide direct access to ASU Career EDGE for registration, enrollment and transcript history. Career EDGE is accessible to only users with an active employee affiliation.
Health and safety Training Determination Tool
To determine which safety training courses are required and recommended based on the work being performed, please consult the Training Determination Tool. Use this tool in consultation with your immediate supervisor concerning your work duties to determine and automatically create your training plan.
Other ASU affiliation and non-employee volunteers must complete additional steps to gain system access. View the Visitors and volunteers tab for information.
