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

• To access the training, go to: http://ehs.facil.udel.edu:1569/ The class you must complete prior to the first lab 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 TA on the first lab session. You may not attend the lab session if you do not provide proof of training to the TA.

• Please contact Kevin Eichinger at eich@udel.edu or 831-2103 with any questions or concerns.
