EHS Training

EHS training raises awareness of safe work practices, which is vital to preventing work-related injuries and keeping Sun Devils safe.

This web page will assist with determining your training requirements and provide direct access to ASU Career EDGE for registration, enrollment and transcript history.

Career EDGE is only accessible to users with an active employee affiliation. All employee training should be completed in Career EDGE, and students should access training via the Canvas link.

Health and Safety Training Determination Tool

Please consult the Training Determination Tool to determine which safety training courses are required and recommended based on the work performed. 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 Minors, Visitors and Volunteers tab for more information.
