Useful Features on the Subject Pages

Use the ‘Breadcrumb’ Trail 

Are you deeply buried in one topic and need to get back to a previous or different page? You can always find a listing of the path you’ve followed on the left below the orange menu bar. This is called a ‘breadcrumb’ trail. Each part of the path is a link that will take you back to the specific page shown.

Resources 

On some pages you can use the Resources section (on the right side of the page) to quickly find a relevant link or file or form. Here is an example from the Bloodborne Pathogen Training page providing a link directly to training page on the Princeton Learn Center website.

 

Finding Information on the EHS Website

There are variety of ways to navigate to the information you’re interested in, and often there are multiple routes from the same page. 

Start with the MegaMenu 

If you mouse over any of the five main menu items on the orange bar, a MegaMenu associated with that menu item will appear. This photo shows the main headings associated with Workplace & Construction Safety. Click within the mega menu on any heading of interest to go to a landing page that routes you to more topics under that heading.

Start with the Main Menu Headings 

Instead of using the MegaMenu, you can directly click on the Main Menu item of interest on the top bar. If you want information about safety requirements for x-ray machine users, for instance, you can click on Laboratory & Research on the top bar. From the Laboratory & Research Safety landing page, click on Radiation Safety. From the Radiation Safety landing page (shown below), use the Menu bar on the left to click on X-Ray Machines.

Start with the Search Function 

Use the Search field in the upper right corner of every page to enter your search terms of interest.
