Who Should Take This Course?
Our Ethylene Oxide Awareness Online course provides general awareness of the risks of ethylene oxide exposure, as well as information on the OSHA regulatory requirements to protect employees who work with ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a flammable, highly-reactive gas used in the production of several industrial chemicals, and also used as a sterilant for medical equipment and supplies. EtO exposure can cause health hazards such as lung injury, nausea, shortness of breath, cancer, reproductive effects, and more.
