5. Workplace Hazardous Chemicals, ERP & PPE Safety Training
Program: Workplace Hazardous Chemicals, ERP & PPE
Duration: 02 Days
Target: Supervisors and line leaders handling chemicals at work
Rationale
The proliferation of potentially hazardous substances in use by modern industry led to the introduction of a number of legislation in the country. These include CIMAH’96, CLASS’13 & USECHTH’00 which are the components of OSH Act 1994. Employer need to educate and manage employees who are exposed or have potential to be exposed to these substances.
Objectives
At the end of the program participants will be able to:
· Describe legal requirement of the relevant regulations;
· Describe the general concept of working with hazardous substance
· Describe the general operational procedures of safe handling including emergencies.
Course Contents
· Case Study
· General concept of chemical safety
· Chemicals hazards
· Labels, Signage’s & Safety Data Sheet
