Environmental Compliance
Reactive Chemicals
Course description
Chemical reactions can be extremely hazardous if they are not thoroughly understood and controlled. When intentional or unintentional reactions get out of control, they can result in fires, explosions, or releases of toxic fumes or gases. You and your coworkers could be injured-or even killed-as a result of an uncontrolled chemical reaction. It’s essential, therefore, that you know how to safely manage reactive chemicals to prevent accidents. This course is intended for employees who may be exposed to reactive chemicals on the job. This course only covers reactive chemicals, and employees exposed to any hazardous chemicals on the job must receive comprehensive hazard communication training. This course is meant to supplement, but not replace, required hazard communication training.
