Universities Safe Decanting of Liquid Nitrogen Practical

Our University Safe Decanting of Liquid Nitrogen Practical Workshop gives participants the opportunity to learn how to safely decant liquid nitrogen in a practical environment.

The 1½ - 2 hour workshop is aimed at lecturers, health and safety officers, managers, supervisors, technicians and students who use liquid nitrogen and associated equipment in a laboratory or other similar environment.

Please note that prior to attending this workshop all delegates must have received safety awareness training. This is most easily achieved by completing our online Using Liquid Nitrogen Safely within Universities e-Learning workshop. Alternatively, the safety awareness training can be delivered in the more traditional way by an instructor. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
