Chemical hazards and toxic substances can pose serious threat to workers’ health and affect productivity. Hence our course has been made as per the guidelines of OSHA which prescribes safety standards for industries where workers may be exposed to hazardous chemicals and other toxic substances.
Though OSHA identifies workplaces involve chemicals and toxic hazards as general industries, it has not specifically mentioned industries such as agriculture, construction or maritime where workers can be exposed to such dangerous health hazards. The online safety course addresses the responsibilities for employers and employees for maintaining workplace safety standards. Participants will learn about the nature of hazards due to chemicals and toxic substances, hazard control measures, federal regulations and safe practices to be followed to protect workers from these hazards.
