INTRODUCTION FOR SAFE HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL TRAINING
A great deal of attention has been focused on the health effects of chemicals in recent years. Many chemicals which were regarded as safe many years ago have been linked with illnesses to more chronic and fatal cancers. Although much has been learn about chemicals toxicity from studying disease and laboratory studies there are far too many chemicals used in commerce today whose harmful effects unknown. It is therefore important to threat all chemicals with care including those harmful effects are known, to avoid future consequences. This course will explain elaborately on the Safety and Health Act 1994 USECHH 2000 Regulation (Use and Standard of Exposure of Chemicals Hazardous to Health) in the factory premises. In order to successfully implement a safe working environment, employees must be equipped with the knowledge and techniques to eliminate accidents and illnesses. They should adopt safe work practices on industrial chemical handling, storage and disposal to prevent accidents. The training is intended to highlight major steps involved in setting up a respiratory protection program and identify additional resources. Employers who decide to use respiratory protection to help lower worker exposures to hazardous airborne contaminants must follow all requirements of the made by Department of Occupational Safety & Health.
The course is designed to equip participants with the necessary understanding and knowledge needed to inculcate safe work practices in handling chemical and also the chemical spill accident or leakage. The aims of the training is to ensure that ESH Committee,, EMS Committee, ERT Teams, supervisors and employees have a safe skill and awareness of chemical handling and accident related with chemicals.
