The Advanced Topics in EHS series of courses are designed to expand on topics that are introduced in the basic SCHC courses. The topics of genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity are introduced in the course Toxicology for Hazard Communication.

The goal of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the topics of genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity.  Emphasis is placed on an understanding of the basic science of these topics and an introduction to the technical skills and background necessary to develop, evaluate, and apply hazard determinations, hazard classifications, and risk assessments involving genotoxicants, mutagens, and carcinogens.

This is an advanced course. While there are no formal prerequisites for this course, it is strongly recommended that participants have a working knowledge of MSDS and labels and that they have either taken the SCHC course, Toxicology for Hazard Communication, or that they be comfortable with the basic concepts of toxicology.
