This training is intended for those who need to widen their general knowledge of chemical safety in the workplace
It could be used by people who handle chemicals in their work
Who have to decide on measures where chemical information is needed, such as a worker's safety representative needing physical and chemical information on a specific substance, or a factory inspector looking for guidance on safe use of chemicals
Who guide and educate others in handling and using chemicals. Chemical substances and their properties, tests to assess their effects on people, animals and the environment, and limits of ‘acceptable’ exposure form a complex information collection, too large to be adapted during a workshop. To serve as a basis for such information, this training material includes data bases on chemicals to be used as reference information
