Department Chairpersons/ Program Directors:
All online safety training for faculty, staff, and graduate student employees is now linked to HR records
through the SumTotal website (http://webapps.tosm.ttu.edu/itts/sumtotalsystems). SumTotal
automates safety training records and reminders for employees, eliminating the need to request record
updates from EH&S. All EH&S safety training records for your employees have already been uploaded to
SumTotal.
There are three steps to set up the SumTotal training records for new employees or to add needed
training for your current TIU employees:
•
The department or its individual labs, studios, stages, and field sites (as appropriate for your
area) identifies training requirements for a faculty, staff, or graduate student employee. A table
the training modules and their recommended recurrence is provided below.
•
•
Enroll personnel and their required training in SumTotal.
o
Departmental personnel will need to enroll their current employees in appropriate
o
training related to the employee's position.
For new personnel, departmental HR staff enroll individuals for the appropriate training
during the ePAF process.
Please update your departmental websites and handbooks to direct faculty, staff, and graduate
student employees to the Sum Total site to complete their on line training
(http://webapps.tosm.ttu.edu/itts/sumtotalsystems).
Human Resources Administration will provide SumTotal Manager Training on March 5, 2015. Unit
managers are asked to register through the website
(http://webapps.tosm.ttu.edu/itts/sumtotalsystems). Departmental and College Safety Officers are also
welcome to attend. HR will schedule additional training opportunities in future.
Students will continue to register for and take their on line safety training though the EH&S website.
For any questions, please feel free to contact me at 742-3876.
