Students must complete required safety training prior to your first laboratory class. This training consists of multiple sections followed by a quiz.

• To access the training, go to: http://ehs.facil.udel.edu:1569/ The training you must complete prior to the first laboratory session is called Basic Right-To-Know Safety Training for Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory Students. Students are encouraged to read the complete directions for accessing the program: http://www.udel.edu/ehs/ehsonlinetraindrct.pdf

• The quiz must be completed with a passing grade to receive credit for the course.

• When you successfully complete the course, you will receive an email documenting the completion along with a course certificate (as a PDF attachment). Provide a printed copy of this documentation to your laboratory instructor at the first laboratory session. You may NOT attend the laboratory sessions if you do not provide proof of training.
