Greetings,

This is the Chemistry Stockroom Employee Training Page. You have been asked to review this web-site as a preliminary training exercise. You will be tested on a few safety items, so feel free to take notes. The test is not difficult. A sample test will be provided at the end of this web-page.

When you feel comfortable with the material, tell the Stockroom Manager & you'll receive your test. When you pass it you'll be certified at an awareness level. This certification will allow you to work with some confidence in the stockroom. Things you need to review will be listed below.
