Course Overview
All chemical exposures have the potential for serious health consequences. Depending on the toxicology and concentration, the effects of chemical exposures may be immediate (acid burns) or long term (chronic beryllium disease or cancer). In any case, chemical exposures may result in life threatening outcomes. Chemicals may cause physical damage such as explosions or fires resulting in serious injury and facility damage.
Facility and mission related effects might include corrosive actions that degrade equipment performance (like mercury on copper nickel alloys and aluminium) and residual contamination that limits the future use of facilities and equipment. Environmental issues may arise as a result of spills, releases, or waste chemical inventories. In addition to the health effects, physical damage, or environmental effects that may result from a chemical incident, there will be a need to initiate emergency response actions to mitigate the potential impact of the incident.
Key Learning Outcomes
By the end of this interactive course, the attendees will be able to:
- Ensure a good understanding of toxic and hazardous material risks.
- Establish safe procedures for storage and handling of toxic and hazardous materials.
- Explain International chemical marking and labelling systems.
- Select effective control measures four toxic and hazardous material risks.
- Establish effective emergency management plans and emergency response actions.
Target Audience
This Storage and Handling of Toxic Chemicals and Hazardous Materials training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Technicians and managers who need knowledge of managing hazardous materials.
- Personnel involved in hazardous substances management and programmes.
- HSE personnel involved in safety management systems.
- Engineers required having knowledge of process safety aspects of plant operation.
- Other personnel is interested in the storage and handling of toxic and hazardous materials.
Methods of Delivery
This course will be structured as a highly participative workshop with formal presentations, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant examples and case studies illustrate the application of each of the topics covered.
