Cryogen Safety
About This Course
Course Description
Cryogenic liquids allow for the storage of materials and the conduction of experiments at extremely low temperatures, but they require careful handling to prevent frostbite, asphyxiation, and the risk of container over-pressurization, which can lead to explosions. In this course, you’ll learn about cryogenic liquids, the associated risks, and safe handling practices. This foundational training is designed to complement workplace-specific, hands-on instruction provided by employers and is ideal for anyone working with, around, or supervising the use of cryogenic liquids.
