Cleanroom introduction training
Trainings take place at HCØ building D, 2nd floor, from 9.30 to 15.00. Training is scheduled regularly (approximately once a month) based on the requests received by new users. It is always a good idea to write in advance and avoid long waiting times.
Sign up
You can sign up on the waiting list to receive the cleanroom introduction training by sending an email to cleanroom@nbi.ku.dk.
Preparation
Before you attend the training, you are required to read the following documents:
- General rules for working in the cleanroom
- Working with chemicals
- Working with hydrofluoric acid
- Working with nanowires and nanotubes
- Evacuation guide from KU
- NBI-Handbook on the NBInet
- Safety and Emergency preparedness
- Health and Safety
It is good to familiarize yourselves with our wikipage. Browse and make a list with the tools and processes that you need to use in the cleanroom.
Authorisation
At the end of the training day, you will be requested to fill out a questionnaire. This includes True/False statements as well as an exercise on how to dispose chemicals correctly. The objective of the quiz is to increase your awareness during the training and clear out any ambiguities. The questions are based on previous experiences and complaints of our regular users.
Once all the participants fill out the questionnaires, the users and the instructor discuss any mistakes as a group. There is no grading, but the mistakes tend to lead to insightful conversations.
As a last part of the training, you need to sign the Cleanroom safety authorization checklist
