EH&S launches annual emergency evacuation course
The Environmental Health & Safety team will roll out this year’s online emergency evacuation course this month. UAB is required to provide this training by both OSHA and fire codes, and it replaces the in-person training the department used to conduct. Students will receive a notification in Canvas indicating that they have been assigned the course. Employees will need to either recertify or take the course through the Campus Learning System. It’s important to complete the course in a timely manner.

and UAB Financial Affairs partnered in 2019 to pilot a new online ordering process via BuyUAB for Airgas orders.
