CHEMICAL HAZARD SAFETY
IN MINING AND WORKPLACE
TRAINING
DESCRIPTION
· Hazardous materials, which are often
referred to as chemical hazards, exist in one form or another in nearly all
workplaces. There is potential exposure to hazardous chemicals in any
industrial and production activity. The Basic Chemical Safety Course focuses on
recognition and identification of chemical hazards, its potential acute and
chronic health effects in exposed employees, and the risk of fire and
explosion.
· It provides a basic but thorough review
of sources of hazardous chemicals, its characteristics, devastating mechanism,
and the method by which it can be controlled. Active participation is
encouraged through case studies, examples, and an open discussion format.
TRAINING

industrial hazardous materials.
- Fire, explosion, dust explosion
and the basic of chemistry.
- Chemical access routes to the
body, target systems, and the basic of toxicology.
- Factors that affect chemical
injury or illness.
- Overview of MSDS.

PARTICIPANTS
- Workers potentially exposed to
hazardous chemicals, and those who responsible for safety in the workplace
- Anyone who needs to recognize chemical
hazards in the workplace and understand its devastating potential,
especially as it relates to his or her area of responsibility, in any
industrial, mining and production activity.
- Technician, field operator,
driller, dumper, plant operator, office staff, electrician, welder,
machine operator.
- Tank cleaners and pipeline
operators.
- Anyone who involves in chemicals
handling and purchasing.
- Other beginners who interested in.
PREREQUISITES
- None. No previous training in
Hazops is required. However, to gain the most from this course, a basic
understanding of science, physics and chemistry will be helpful.
