Hazardous chemicals are used in a variety of activities at chemical factories and other workplaces involved in chemical operations and research.
Professionals working with chemicals should thoroughly understand the theoretical and practical aspects of chemical hazards to prevent catastrophes and damage to their health.
For instance, did you know that exposure to hazardous chemicals for a long time can damage the lungs or even cause cancers? Other health hazards of chemicals include burning, inflammation or even permanent damage to eyesight. Hence, to maintain a safe working environment, it is important that personnel working with chemicals are aware of safety practices such as the proper use of equipment, transportation, handling and storage of chemicals.
Organizations should train their employees regarding the short term and long-term effects of working with chemicals, as well as safety practices related to the use of chemicals. In addition, employees should also be trained about first aid and emergency management in case of chemical accidents and the role of protective equipment in minimizing such accidents.
This course is meant to train individuals about the types and nature of chemicals such as the physical states, classification, characteristics and its hazardous properties. Further, this course will also explain the safety practices related to the use of hazardous chemicals.
