Who Should Take This Course
Anyone who prepares shipments that include dry ice (or, more correctly, "carbon dioxide, solid"). This would include personnel who ship dry ice along with:
- refrigerated food products
- diagnostic specimens
- non-infectious samples
- some environmental samples (such as traps from a Method 25D sampling train, both from and to the lab)
- any products requiring refrigeration
This may include:
- food services personnel
- laboratory technicians, and
- environmental engineers, scientists, and technicians.
Objectives
Upon completion of the course, individuals should have a better understanding of the rules and regulations governing the transport of dry ice. Participants should also understand the paperwork requirements, packaging requirements, and marking and labeling requirements for shipping dry ice.
