Course Description
Exposure to hazardous chemicals can make you severely or even fatally sick. Decontamination procedures help to ensure hazardous materials are washed away after you’ve been exposed. But is there still a risk that you can spread hazardous materials to your coworkers or even your family? Monitoring procedures will help ensure any potential contamination ends with you.
In this course on Monitoring Procedures and Equipment, we will go over the basics of monitoring hazardous materials, along with the tools you will likely encounter over the course of the monitoring process. You will understand when and how to use the various types of monitoring equipment. You’ll also learn the basics of personal monitoring, to keep yourself safe at an individual level when working around hazardous materials. By the end of this course, you’ll understand the tools and tasks you’ll need to prevent hazardous contamination from harming you or those around you.
