What’s Happening in EH&S

Thank you to everyone who came to the EH&S table during this year’s In-Service events. If you weren’t able to pick up a Passbook to Safety, you can access a PDF version here. There are still three months for you to complete the activities in the Passbook, sign the pledge, and be entered in a drawing to win.

EH&S training is now available in Workday Learning! Explore our content and learn more about safety topics and programs in place at PCC. To navigate directly to EH&S training courses, follow the steps in this guide.
