This Ethylene Oxide Awareness Online course provides a general awareness of the risks and the regulatory requirements for protecting employees who work with ethylene oxide, as required by OSHA.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is used extensively by hospitals and other industries as a sterilizing agent. It is also used for making many consumer products as well as non-consumer chemicals and intermediates. EtO is a colorless, odorless gas, which is both flammable and highly reactive. You cannot smell EtO until it reaches levels that can cause serious harm to human health. Studies show that EtO can be hazardous to human health. Short-term exposures can cause respiratory irritation and lung injury, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Long-term exposure may cause cancer, reproductive effects, genetic changes, and damage to the nervous system.
