The Chemical Awareness Courses start with a basic 2 hour course designed for non-chemists but staff who use or receive hazardous chemicals into the work place. It concentrates on explaining the routes of entry into the body and the different risks caused by prolonged exposure to irritants both acute and chronic. Delivered in simple easy to understand language the courses build content and complexity depending on the levels of knowledge and the roles that delegates hold.

The matrix table sets out for you the basic course outlines and content but we are always happy to develop specific courses for you that are tailored to your work place hazards.
