ONLINE TRAINING DEVELOPED BY EHRM TO BE PRESENTED AT
CONFERENCE
A presentation developed by several Environmental Health and Risk Management
(EHRM) staff members was selected for presentation during the 2010 conference of the
Campus Safety Health and Environmental Management Association (CSHEMA). Titled,
“Developing and Implementing a Cost-Effective Online Training Program”, and co-
authored by Otu Inyang and Lisa Benford, the presentation focuses on the
implementation of EHRM’s web-based safety training. EHRM is considered a leader
among its academic peers in that the department is at the forefront of creating its own
online training and consistently receives recognition within the safety industry.
According to Bob Schneller, director of EHRM, this type of training falls in line with the
university’s Tier 1 goals.
This year’s conference is scheduled to be held this July in Baltimore. For more
