Right-To-Know training
by Govindaraju, Rao S 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

All, For our department to be compliant with all safety regulations, it is required by EPA and OSHA that the online Right-To-Know training be completed by all who are in paid status or seeking lab access. Similar to FERPA, the RTK training must be completed annually. You may find the training in the link here<https://engineering.purdue.edu/Intranet/Groups/Schools/CE/Safety/RTK> or on the CCE Intranet in the safety section. The training is not complete until the associated quiz is taken and completed with a 100% score at which time you will receive notice of completion. You will be reminded every year in Brightspace to take the training. For those who have never taken the training or whose training has expired, you have until March 31, 2025, to complete the training. We come up for recertification in April. If you fail to complete the training by the deadline, then your PUID access may be revoked and you would be asked to surrender your building keys until you complete the training. If you are uncertain if you have completed the training, please email Dave Rater at dmrater(a)purdue.edu<mailto:dmrater@purdue.edu> and ask him to confirm. Best. GS
