Hazardous Chemicals Safety Training With Practical Examples

Do you handle harmful chemicals during your work ? If so, we strongly recommend you take the time to watch this course carefully.

The purpose of this course is to educate you about the potentially hazardous chemicals in your facility and how to minimize exposure. It provides valuable information on identifying risks associated with hazardous chemicals, minimizing exposure, labeling, inventory requirements, and the correct procedures to respond to emergency situations, involving incident events such as:

• chemical spills

• BLEVEs’ (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion)

• VCEs’ (Vapor Cloud Explosion).

The usefulness of this course is not limited to operating people, there are many useful applications for the maintenance, design and construction of facilities.

The hazardous substances covered in this course include:

• Hydrogen sulphide (H2S)

• Nitrogen (N2)

• Hydrogen fluoride (HF)

• Anhydrous ammonia (NH3)

• Chlorine (Cl2)

• Caustic soda (NaOH)

• Acids

• Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

• …

In addition, numerous real-world accidents from the Oil & Gas and chemical industries are presented and discussed in an easy-to-understand format using 3D animations.

We are confident that this valuable course will help you contribute to the safety of your facility, your fellow workers and yourself.

So please take the time to watch this course carefully and feel free to share your experience with others since this is one of the most effective means of communicating lessons learned and avoiding unnecessary incidents in the future.
