Course Description
By their very nature, hazardous materials require that anyone working around them must take protective measures beforehand. Learn why it’s critical for hazmat workers to establish plans, practices, and protective controls to minimize on-site exposure and stay safe on the job.
In these lessons, we’ll examine how to apply work practices and engineering controls for hazardous substances. You’ll learn about what goes into a site safety and health plan, including a review of eyewash stations and standards. We’ll also discuss standard engineering controls for sites, facilities, and specific jobs. At the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to keep safe when working with hazardous materials
What You'll Learn
- Apply standard hazmat work practices and engineering controls for hazardous substances
- Interpret site safety and health plans and understand what goes into them
- Identify standard engineering controls for sites, facilities, and specific jobs
- Define standards for proper eyewash stations
- Establish plans, practices, and protective controls to minimize on-site exposure
Key Takeaways
- Hazardous materials require workers to take protective measures before working around them.
- Establishing plans, practices, and protective controls helps minimize on-site exposure and keep hazmat workers safe.
- A site safety and health plan includes considerations such as eyewash stations and their standards.
- Engineering controls can be applied at the level of sites, facilities, and specific jobs.
