In order to comply with university policy1, the Missouri S&T Department of Environmental Health and Safety mandates that “all faculty, staff, and students who work in a laboratory” must complete General Lab Safety Training (GLST), and must do so every two years. (For more information, and to find the training, visit https://ehs.mst.edu/.)
Currency on GLST is required prior to receiving instrument training and as a prerequisite for receiving and retaining card swipe access to the Shared Instrument Lab.2
To check your training status, browse to https://ehs.mst.edu/trainingindex/ and find the “General Lab Safety Training” section; click the link and sign in to the training website. Once you are logged in, find your training transcript (click on the transcript link); note that you may need to adjust the date range in order to find all your completed courses. Adjust and search as needed until you get a report showing your completed courses; it should look something like the following image (but with all your completed courses listed).
Please verify that all the required courses are shown (again, this may require adjustment of the date range) and then click the “Export to pdf” button (indicated by the green arrow in the screenshot above). Save the pdf and email a copy to Dr. Leigh, leighn@mst.edu.
12/20/2023 Note: I have received reports that the training website is no longer providing the transcript in the format shown above. If you can’t get that, then send all the module completion certificates instead. This is more work but will accomplish the same purpose.

- If you have card swipe access to the Shared Instrument Lab, you will receive a single notice prior to the expiration of your GLST and advising you to update. If you do not provide updated completion records, your access to the lab will be rescinded when your training lapses. ↩
