The NC State Safety Orientation Checklist provides an overview of health, safety and security topics for NC State employees and volunteers.  As an introduction to our Environmental Health and Public Safety services and procedures, this checklist must be completed and reviewed with all new employees and volunteers with their manager, prior to beginning activities on campus. The new employee will register for the NC State Safety Orientation Checklist Course via REPORTER.  The course materials will then be available in Wolfware (Moodle) Project Space.  Help documents are available below for the manager to reference while assisting the employee. A new employee is an employee who is a new hire, transfer into a department from within the University, graduate student, or post doctoral student. Graduate students whose University activity is limited to class attendance do not require this training.  For more information on Graduate Student training, please use this resource.
