Chemical Handling for Stores and Laboratory Personnel Course
Introduction:
In this course, participants will be introduced to the fundamental elements of an industrial health approach aimed at minimizing exposure to hazardous substances during chemical handling. The course begins by providing an overview of potential hazards associated with working with chemicals. It then delves into the details of chemical properties, outlining the various health risks that may arise. Additionally, the course covers topics such as storage facilities, proper handling techniques, transportation considerations, selection and use of protective equipment, and methods for effectively managing chemical releases.
Course Objectives:
The characteristics of chemical hazards:
- How to minimize the risk of their hazardous potential being released.
- Basic design and layout for good storage and handling procedures.
- Safe operations involving bulk storage, transfer, and handling.
- How to deal with incidents involving the release of chemicals.
- Procedures for dealing with spillages.
- Reporting requirements to relevant authorities.
- Safe disposal procedures for unwanted substances.
