Training

EH&S provides health and safety training promoting safe work practices that adhere to WSU policy and State regulatory requirements. We offer safety training online and schedule or identify resources for instructor lead training upon request.

Employee Training

WSU Safety Policy and Procedures Manual (SPPM) Chapter 2.18 Safety Training summarizes the safety training topics required for WSU personnel. Your college, department, area or specific work related tasks may require additional health and safety training.

WSU employees access on-line safety training content by visiting Human Resource Services’ Learning and Organizational Development website, and logging into Skillsoft/Percipio:

Most required safety training courses are accessed via Percipo Compliance, click on your initials/personal icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and select Compliance from the dropdown list:

Users will find a list of required compliance assignments at the top of the page, a listing of additional safety courses is provided below these and organized alphabetically.

To ensure users receive credit for completing safety training, please adhere to the following best practices:

  1. Plan to complete required Learning Program training modules/courses in one sitting. This is due to potential issues with the LMS not recording progress and completion data correctly.
  2. Open Google Chrome or Firefox browser (Edge is not a supported browser and training will not be recorded as completed if using Edge)
  3. Ensure your web browser is updated and meets “Percipio for Web Requirements
    1. If using Chrome, you may need to adjust your settings to Allow Pop-Ups.
    2. If using Firefox, access the URL to Enable Autoplay.
  4. Clear your browser cache
    1. Clear Your Cache in Google Chrome
    2. Clear Your Cache in Firefox
  5. If you previously accessed the Learning Program or Course and the training was disrupted for any reason, and you did not complete the training, before beginning training again, access the URLs to clear your browser cache, and then restart the training from the beginning:
  6. Go through each slide of the training, allowing all voiceovers play to the end, including on any quiz question slides and on the final slide.
  7. Even if navigation of the slides is not restricted, do not drag the playback seek bar ahead or skip to the next slide until the voiceover for that slide is complete.
  8. If the training includes playback speed functionality, you may adjust the speed for that particular training’s voiceovers.
  9. When you reach the final slide, do not exit the training until the entire voiceover for that training slide is complete. If there is an “Exit Course” button, ensure you exit the training using that button as instructed.

Completed safety training content is retained on your learning transcript. Supervisors or administrative personnel wanting information summarizing completed employee safety training courses may contact EH&S at 335-3041 or sringo@wsu.edu.
