Health & Safety

Health & Safety programs are held annually in-person. This training is assigned to chapters by IHQ staff based on previous history and needs. At the start of the academic year, chapters are responsible for contacting their assigned facilitator to schedule their training during the school year. We use volunteer facilitators, so we recommend scheduling training during the weekend.
