Prepare potential first responders to chemical incidents with knowledge and practical experience to ensure competence when dealing with an incident involving hazardous materials, potentially minimising the impact to operations, people, environment, assets and reputation with appropriate and swift response should an event occur.
Accredited by JOIFF and in alignment with the UK National Operational Guidance ‘Foundation for hazardous materials', health and safety legislation, and industry best practice, course content can be adapted in accordance with international standards.
Exclusively developed in conjunction with Responsible Care® experts from the Chemical Industries Association, the Chemical Business Association, and leading hazmat specialists from the police, fire and rescue services, this training area is designed to support those providing information about or on the front lines of chemical incidents.
This course addresses the need to make a rapid, relevant and reliable response to requests for chemical information from the emergency services, as it is well documented that transmitting the correct information using appropriate language ensures timely and measured response, minimising the impact to operations, people, environment, assets and reputation.
Develop an understanding of the regulatory requirements of using chemicals in the workplace and how to put them into a practical context. Gain the tools and knowledge to safely discharge responsibilities in general and job specific areas with course content tailored to focus specifically on the regulations most relevant to your business.
Providing an awareness of the risks associated with the transport, storage and utilisation of alternative fuels, including hydrogen, ammonia and methanol, courses provide details on the potential hazards and physical properties and practical, hands-on response workshops.
