Hazard Communication In Healthcare Environments

This training course helps staff recognize, label, store, and respond to hazardous substances safely. This course covers key sources of hazard information, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and explores the risks associated with toxins, corrosives, irritants, carcinogens, combustibles, and oxidizers. Participants will also learn about proper use of PPE, safe storage techniques, and the correct procedures for responding to a spill. Given that the CDC reports over 8 million U.S. healthcare workers are exposed to hazardous drugs or chemicals, understanding HAZMAT risks in medical environments is essential for protecting worker health.
