This is the last weekend to complete this training! If you've not received your BNC 151 2026 - Safety Refresher Training badge by 11:59:59 PM Monday, February 16th, your lab/cleanroom access will be revoked. See below. Greetings all, It's that time of year again! In order to maintain access to Birck, all BNC Cleanroom and Laboratory users including Faculty, Staff, Scientists, Researchers, and Students must obtain this year's annual safety training refresher badge. If you've received the BNC 111 Orientation & Safety training after Dec. 1st, 2025, you are exempt for this requirement until next year. BNC users must obtain this badge by 11:59:59 PM Monday, February 16th, or BNC cleanroom and lab access will be revoked. Please direct any questions or issues to cbokrand@purdue.edu<mailto:cbokrand@purdue.edu>. We will continue to use Brightspace for this training, so it should be familiar if you've taken Birck training in the last year.

An 80% or better is required to pass. The quiz may be retaken once, if needed. You may refer to the training materials during the quiz. Please note: * If you fail to obtain an 80% after a second attempt on the quiz, your submission must be manually reset. Email Christian Bokrand (cbokrand@purdue.edu<mailto:cbokrand@purdue.edu>) with the subject line "BNC 151 Quiz Reset" to setup a meeting to discuss any points of confusion and reset your submission. * BNC laboratory access (to any/all of the dry, solvent, acid, bio, or cleanroom laboratories) will be revoked if not completed by 11:59:59 PM on Monday, February 16th. * If not completed by the deadline, users wishing to regain BNC laboratory access will need to: o Complete a more extensive version of the badge (50 questions >=90% to pass instead of 25 questions >=80%) o Have their PI sign-off on the training o Wait for the Friday after their badge is completed for access to be re-instated.
