Description:
The Advanced Topics in EHS series of courses were designed to expand on topics that are introduced in the other SCHC courses. The topic of risk management and communication is introduced in the SCHC course Hazard Determination and Risk Assessment.
The objective of this course is to provide an understanding of risk management and communication for chemicals. For the purposes of this course, risk management is the process of selecting an appropriate response to the risks of chemicals and risk communication is the exchange of information on the risks of chemicals. Emphasis in this course is placed on balancing the technical information from a risk evaluation with an understanding of the basis for risk-based decisions, the trust and integrity of those involved in the process, and the social, economic, and political concerns that impact a response to risk. The goal of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the technical and interpersonal aspects of risk management and communication.
This is an advanced course. While there are no formal prerequisites for this course, it is recommended that participants have a working knowledge of chemical hazards and risks and that they have either taken the SCHC courses Toxicology for Hazard Communication and Hazard Determination and Risk Assessment or that they are comfortable with the principles presented in these courses.
Intended Audience
Product EHS professionals that want to expand their understanding of the technical and interpersonal aspects of risk management and communication.
