Industrial Hygiene and Safety for Hazard Communication
Brochure — next offering Spring 2018 - April 22, 2018
Course Description and Objectives
This course is an introduction to the role of industrial hygiene and safety principles in hazard communication. An emphasis is placed on the physical hazards of chemicals and the control and management of exposures to chemicals. The requirements of the OSHA HazCom 2012 16-section SDS serve as the framework for the course. This is not a "How To" course for SDS and label writing. Rather, the goal of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the technical skills and background necessary to develop, evaluate, and/or apply sections 4 through 10 of a 16-section SDS and the corresponding portions of a label.
This is a basic course and there are no prerequisites. However, it is 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.
Intended Audience
Hazard communication professionals looking to broaden their understanding of ecotoxicology and to sharpen their hazard determination and risk assessment skills.
