======Liquid Nitrogen Safe Handling Practices======
**This is a reminder that both safety goggles AND a face shield, along with cryo gloves, must be worn when filling dewars or handling liquid nitrogen in any capacity.  These are provided outside the upstairs door to the dome. Long sleeves and closed toed shoes must also be worn when handling liquid nitrogen.  We have provided lab coats which are on hooks next to the face shield and goggles, but proper footware is the responsibility of the observers.  Cryo gloves are kept on the table on the platform under the telescope as usual.  [[public:observer:stress_proper_ppe_use|Using PPE is easy]], but please reach out to us if you have any questions.**
