Museum Training Checklists

There are numerous training modules available through the University of Alaska and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). These modules can be accessed via several different websites. To help Museum staff and volunteers complete all required training, a series of training checklists have been created. All persons working or volunteering for the Museum are required to complete and sign an appropriate training checklist. This checklist also needs to be signed by a Department Head and turned in to Operations.

University of Alaska Museum of the North Policies, Procedures, and Protocols

Not only are employees and volunteers required to complete specific training modules, but they are also required to read and understand the policies, procedures, and protocols of the University of Alaska Museum of the North (UAMN). Navigate to the UAMN Policies, Procedures, and Protocols Page to see these documents.

 

Accessing Your Training Records

Department Supervisors can run training reports for their employees by contacting UAF Environmental Health, Safety, and Risk Management (EHSRM) at 907-474-5413 or UAF-EHSRM@alaska.edu.Note: INTELEX is no longer supported by UAF, which means that employees can't access and see their own training records. EHSRM is in the process of figuring out a new training records system. Contact EHSRM for more information.
