Chemistry is often seen as a ‘foreign language’ and something best left to those in ‘White coats.’ However, if you are involved in chemical hazard communication and related activities you need to understand the basic relationship between chemicals, how to recognise them and understand their properties. The course will not furnish you with an ‘O’ level chemistry course, but concentrates on what is needed for industrial application, to demystify the subject. The course will be useful for safety data sheet authors, Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers (DGSAs), those doing COSHH assessments, general Health and Safety professionals, sales and other office personnel of chemical companies.
