If you use formaldehyde, please take the following steps to ensure that is it used safely:
- Notify EH&S that you are using nitrous oxide. EH&S will perform employee exposure monitoring to check airborne concentrations.
- In order to get training credit for this segment, register at the ECU One Stop under faculty and staff training. When your completed quiz form is sent to EH&S and you have at least 80% correct, training credit will be confirmed in the One Stop. Please allow one week for processing.
- Review the online training and take the quiz. The online training explains the health hazards, container labeling, required personal protective equipment, and other information for safe nitrous oxide use.
- Download the formaldehyde lab safety plan and place it in your safety manual or standard operating procedures book for staff to refer to when using nitrous oxide.
Please contact EH&S with any other questions.
