On this site, you will find information about relevant training, forms, procedures, programs and guidelines applicable for those working at Roger Guindon Hall, 600 Peter Morand and 850 Peter Morand. We encourage you to explore!

Training ensures that the University of Ottawa fulfills its commitment to creating and ensuring safe working environments for the whole uOttawa community. We recognize that most persons will not require all of the job-specific training, but if working in a lab, then completing Laboratory Safety and Autoclave Safety is required. Check with your supervisor to see if other training sessions are required as well.
