GAS CYLINDER/CRYOGENIC LIQUID TRAINING

The Dean’s office provides compressed gasses and liquid nitrogen to CNSM faculty and staff “free of charge”. Personnel who move gas cylinders, hook-up regulators and/or draw liquid nitrogen from the College nitrogen tank must, however, participate in a specific safety training/exam session. Contact your Department Office or CNSM Safety regarding training session scheduling.

Staff and faculty must be especially vigilant to ensure that they do NOT allow an untrained person to move cylinders, install/remove regulators or draw liquid nitrogen. CNSM Safety gives the initial required training, but Faculty and Staff remain responsible for providing specific “hands-on” instruction and effective oversight in the safe use of compresses gases, liquid nitrogen and/or dry ice. This will greatly reduce personal liability.

If you are not sure if someone has completed a specific training session, call Safety x55623 to verify training status.
