Note that the new member doesn't have trainings assigned like existing members.

Mark off the appropriate job activities for the new member. Using existing members assigned activities gives you a good place to start.

Note: many job activities do NOT assign a training. Hovering over the blue question mark will describe the activity. If the description says 'training required' as shown here and the lists a training then the activity turns on a training course for the lab member.

If the blue question mark description as shown here does not say 'training required' and list a training course then the activity is for information gathering only and does not assign anything to the lab member.

Scroll along the activities and mark off all that are appropriate using the bottom slider bar.

Make sure to look at all options along the slide bar, not just the ones visible initially.

Click on the other tabs (biological, animal etc.) to see job activities from different categories than the starting one.

Mark required activities on other tabs.

Make sure to click on the final tab 'Laboratory Coat Selection' to assign the new member the appropriate lab coat. Standard white are for regular lab work and bench work. Blue FRCP (flame resistant chemical protective) for use of large volumes of corrosives (acid baths for example) or flammables/pyrophorics where there is a chance of splash and fire. Barrier Lab Coats are for BSL2 and human source materials work.

When all activities have been selected make sure to click the submit button to finalize selections.

Required trainings matching the job activities selected will be assigned and members will be emailed directly about required trainings within 24 hours automatically. No need to provide employees with direct links.
