Mandatory basic safety training – FOBS 1+2

FOBS

Following an EPFL Management decision dated February 28, 2005, the Security, Safety and Facilities Operations Domain (DSE) and the KeepLearning Service organize a Mandatory Basic Safety Training (FOBS) for all new EPFL hires (employees, externals, guests, trainees, etc.), including for staff in EPFL outposts.

  • Before new employees can receive their Camipro card, they must take an online module of the class and pass the quiz at the end.
  • Anyone who does not take the online module or pass the quiz will not be given a Camipro card.
  • New employees will be given information about how to take the online module when they receive their employment contract.
