HS12 - Staying Safe with Hazardous Substances

Overview - HS12 - Staying Safe with Hazardous Substances

Hazardous substances occur in almost every workplace, sometimes as a regulated part of a production or maintenance process, but sometimes accidentally or as a bi-product of other activity.

Often hazardous substances are simply not recognised as such, being accepted as just part and parcel of the workplace. Whatever the reason for their presence it is essential that workers know how to identify them and how to deal with them safely.

Failure to provide workers with this knowledge may lead to injury, ill-health or regulatory action against the employer.

This course enables learners to identify hazardous substances, deal with them safely and take appropriate steps in the event of mishap.
