Monthly Safety Training

Required monthly safety training sessions are sent to staff directly through the Grainger Learning Management System (GLMS). The GLMS platform allows employees to see their specific training dashboard as well as gives supervisory staff an enhanced way to track and record engagement and completion.

Staff will see emails from alerts_graingerlms@icertainty.com when new trainings are available. You can access GLMS and assigned training at fands.icertainty.com using your netID and password.

How do you serve more students, control costs, and de-risk capital plans—without installing new hardware or rewriting standards? In this session, the University of Kentucky’s Erik Jarvis and Gretchen Tucker show how treating the campus as a living system—continuously sensing, learning, and iterating—turns everyday Wi-Fi into decision-grade insight for facilities, planning, and student services. You’ll see how UK used anonymous presence patterns to retime custodial routes (delivering a 30% efficiency gain and higher satisfaction), realign service desk hours (capturing 10% of previously unmet weekend demand), and right-size a hospital-driven relocation (shifting from a proposed +7% build to +2%, saving $6–10M CapEx and $127K OpEx annually). Privacy is front and center—no PII is collected—and results are validated across buildings, floors, and zones.
