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 and training schedule
You can sign up on the waiting list to receive the cleanroom introduction training by sending an email to cleanroom@nbi.ku.dk.
During the training, you will be introduced to the cleanroom, external labs, safety precautions, emergency protocols and chemical processes. A detailed schedule is used as a guide for the training.
During the sign-up process, you must name a mentor/superuser (preferably from your group) who can assist you in the first few weeks after your safety/introduction training. The mentor should teach you the standard processes used in the group until you are both comfortable that you can work independently. When the mentor has assessed that you are ready to work independently, they must inform the cleanroom team and only then will you get full access to cleanroom labs.
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. You will also receive a list with dos and don'ts in case you forget something in the future. When in doubt, you are always welcome to contact one of the cleanroom staff and discuss.
As a last part of the training, you need to sign the Cleanroom safety authorization checklist
