Inorganic Oxidizers

If not treated with extreme caution, inorganic oxidizers pose extreme health risks when exposed to other chemicals. Among other hazards, inorganic oxidizers can cause or enhance the combustion of other materials often resulting in serious health considerations for those exposed to the combustible reaction of these chemicals. The mixture of inorganic oxidizers with substances, such as chlorine, can expose emergency personnel to flash burns, spontaneous explosions and a sudden release of dangerous gases.

This online video training provides basic first aid information for victims of the volatile reaction of inorganic oxidizers to trigger chemicals, safe handling techniques and recommended protective clothing to be worn in the event of a catastrophic situation involving inorganic oxidizers. In addition, the course provides effective fire fighting tactics in the event of a combustible situation involving inorganic oxidizers, as well as response procedures for the clean-up of leaks and spills.

Use this online training to prepare emergency workers and first response crews to safely react to incidents involving inorganic oxidizers.
