HAZWOPER: Handling Hazardous Materials

Every day we are exposed to HAZMAT substances, from household or janitorial cleaning supplies to gasoline and industrial solvents. Knowing how to properly handle and store hazardous materials can prevent serious injuries. The online training course “HAZWOPER: Handling Hazardous Materials” teaches workers to handle HAZMAT substances with the appropriate caution and care.

The online video discusses the proper methods for storing flammables and explosives; this includes gasoline, TNT and oxidizers that enrich the working environment and increase the likelihood of an explosion or fire. The video training explains how to limit the risk of chronic or acute injuries by reducing exposure time to carcinogens and other toxins. The video describes basic procedures for dealing with HAZMAT emergencies, including clean-up and decontamination processes.
