Safety Side Note

KEEP YOUR TRAININGS ACTIVE! You will lose NRF access the day your training expires. EH&S Hazardous waste management training is required for ALL NRF users. This must be renewed annually. Hydrofluoric Acid Training is required for all cleanroom users, this must be renewed IN PERSON once every 2 years. If you no longer need cleanroom access but still need lab access at the NRF, please email staff to notify us of the change and we will update your account accordingly. If either of these trainings expire, you need to renew the course, and send proof of completion to NRF Staff to reactivate your access. Your NRF access will not update automatically if your training had expired. Prevent all the hassle and renew your training BEFORE it expires, no proof of completion required to maintain NRF access when renewed before expiration. EH&S does not always send reminders, set your own calendar reminder so you don't forget or get caught off guard.
