Why Choose this Training Course?

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.

This training course will highlight:

  • The key components of an effective program for working with toxic and hazardous materials
  • The importance of identifying toxic and hazardous materials stored and used
  • How to identify potential risks of storing and handling toxic and hazardous materials
  • How to carry out effective monitoring and measurement safe operating procedures
  • Providing personnel with essential training and information on toxic and hazardous materials

What are the Goals?

The objectives of this PetroKnowledge training course to ensure you gain the detailed information and competency when storing and handling toxic chemicals and hazardous materials.  This training course has five key objectives:

  • Ensure good understanding of toxic and hazardous material risks
  • Establishing safe procedures for storage and handling of toxic and hazardous materials
  • Explanation of International chemical marking and labelling systems
  • Selecting effective control measures four toxic and hazardous material risks
  • Establishing effective emergency management plans and emergency response actions

Who is this Training Course for?

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 interested the storage and handling of toxic and hazardous materials

How will this Training Course be Presented?

Delegates will learn by active participation through inspiring presentation tools and interactive techniques presented in a lively, enthusiastic and interesting style.  Delegates will take part in practical exercises, typical case studies and group discussion forums.

Organisational Impact
