PLEASE NOTE: The university Blackboard site is undergoing an upgrade this summer so a temporary Blackboard site has been created. To access this temporary site to take EH&S online training courses, please point to:
Several EH&S safety courses are now available on-line through the university Blackboard web site.
To access these courses, go to the Blackboard web site at http://summer.blackboard.cornell.edu. To use Blackboard, you need to get a Blackboard account, which is done with the click of a button on this web site. Then within a day or two you will receive an email saying that you have been enrolled as a Blackboard user.
Then go to the Blackboard web site and search under the catalog – Environmental Health and Safety – for a listing of courses. After you locate the course of interest to you, you will need to click on the “Enroll” button to enroll yourself in that particular course.
