Course Introduction:

This course covers broad issues pertaining to the hazard recognition at work sites. OSHA has developed this program to protect the workers working at hazardous sites and devised extensive regulations to ensure their safety and health. This course, while identifying different types of hazards, also suggests possible precautions and protective measures to reduce or eliminate hazards at the work place.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

Ø Understand how hazardous materials are handled, identified, and human responses to exposure

Ø Learn the importance of the Health and Safety Plan (HSP)

Ø Incorporate knowledge of what to do in case of site emergencies

Ø Use appropriate safety methods and work practice controls

Ø Recognize signs and labels that are used to alert personnel of danger involving hazardous material

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for managers and supervisors who have responsibility for ensuring that the waste produced on site is managed in accordance with legal requirements, focusing on the duty of care of waste. This could range from ensuring that the duty of care is complied with to minimizing waste production and segregating waste prior to recovery/recycling. It will also be of benefit to environmental practitioners who need a refresher.
