A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (1st program):
Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) departmental employees provide training programs to all UC San Diego employees. Topics include: safety training, pest management strategies, research safety, risk management, radiation safety, ergonomic principles, hazardous waste management, and environmental protection. One of these programs includes Storm Water Pollution Prevention Best Management Practices. This program includes strategies to help prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants into storm drains. All employee educators are all professional EH&S staff, certified in their areas of expertise. Although EH&S does not hire trainers, all subject experts in EH&S are trainers in their own area of expertise. EH&S has one training manager that helps to coordinate and facilitate all training programs.
