UMBI Employee Health & Safety Training

Federal and state agencies have strict policies to ensure compliance with research, safety, health and environment management regulations, including withdrawal of research funding and other harsh civil penalties to institutions and potential individual civil prosecution leading to possible imprisonment and substantial fines.

Employees are required to review their UMBI Health and Safety Training Plan with their supervisor.
