Aimed at those involved in storing or handling hazardous chemicals, our Chemical Hazard Awareness Training course provides a deep dive into the risks associated with chemical hazards in the workplace.
The course is suitable for those involved with the day-to-day use and handling of hazardous materials and is also suitable for those with a non-scientific background.
Our 1 day course is approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry and covers the following subjects:
Recognising Hazmats in the Workplace
Chemical Classes
Common Chemical Reactions Leading to Hazardous Scenarios
Managing Hazmat Risks in the Workplace
Considerations when Managing Hazmat Incidents
The course has been developed by highly knowledgeable environmental consultants with decades of experience dealing with hazardous materials. It is delivered by trainers with first-hand experience of responding to spillages of hazardous substances in challenging conditions.
We can deliver this course at your premises or offer an enhanced version of this course at our specialist facility in Cheltenham, which includes an interactive laboratory session.
The end-of-course assessment will evaluate the participants learning outcomes and all successful delegates will receive a training certificate valid for two years.

Sustainability
If travelling to one of our bespoke regional training venues, please consider car sharing or public transport to reduce your carbon footprint. The Theale training centre is under a ten-minute walk from the Theale train station.
Alternatively, our expert trainers can deliver CHAT on your premises, meaning one journey for our trainer instead of multiple journeys for your staff, reducing associated carbon emissions.
