Chemical Spillage Response Training

The increase in the use and storage of chemicals in the workplace brings with it the potential of leaks and spills. It is therefore important that chemicals used at the workplace be treated with the greatest care to ensure workers are protected against their adverse effects.

OSHA 1994 compels management to train its workforce in chemical safety. This is to ensure that chemical-related emergencies are evaluated and workers are trained to respond quickly and efficiently.

This proposal is designed to train ERT members in chemical spillage response emergencies.

Course Objective:

• At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
• Understand the impacts of legislation in chemical management.
• Be conversant with the functions of an ERT in a chemical emergency.
• Select the correct PPE and equipment in response to a chemical emergency.
