This
Emergency Response - Incidental Chemical Releases
interactive safety training course on CD is convenient
and easy to use. Individual employees can train at
a time that is convenient for them, at their own pace.
The system automatically tracks their progress in
the course along with any completed quiz scores and
bookmarks the learner’s place to make it easy to resume
training if training is interupted. Upon completion
of the course, and a 100% score, the employee will
then be able to print a certificate of completion.
Employers
no longer need to pull large groups of employees
off the job to complete their safety training.
This
interactive course can help you:
- Meet
compliance-based safety requirements
-
Reduce risks of accidents and injury on and off
the job
-
Lower insurance premiums, workers compensation
claims and lost work hours
- Improve
employee morale and retention
This
course prepares learners for chemical releases and
threats of releases that are not specifically covered
by the HAZWOPER standard. The intent is to provide
the learner with basic information on acting safely
when chemical releases and threatened releases require
appropriate action, but are limited in quantity, exposure
potential, or toxicity, and present minor safety or
health hazards if handled properly. The course covers
recognition of a release, risks associated with a
release, and responsibilities in the event of a release.
Learning Objectives:
-
Define the basic terms associated with chemical releases.
-
Describe the ways in which chemicals can be hazardous to workers.
-
Distinguish between incidents and emergency situations.
-
Describe the roles and responsibilities of personnel in incidents and emergency situations.
-
Recognize that some industries have additional requirements on incidental releases.
-
Select proper personal protective equipment (PPE) based on the chemical released.
-
Describe the basic principles of toxicology.
