Target Audience:

The courses is intended for use in an environment where risk management processes have already considered how to eliminate hazardous substances, and how to reduce exposure to any hazardous substances in use.

Any employees or contractors could usefully use this course as part of an induction process, or as refresher training.  Local management remain responsible for providing employees with the details of any hazardous substances to which they might be exposed, and to specific instructions (for example, in method statements, or by providing access to safety data sheets) on safe use of those substances.  Risk assessments which have identified hazardous substances as byproducts should also be shared with employees so they understand how to protect themselves and others.

The course is also suitable for employees subject to health surveillance, to explain the importance of taking part in health surveillance and of reporting any symptoms experienced.
