A Guide to Working with Corrosive Substances
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the concepts and principles that can prevent serious health risks to workers due to exposure to corrosives. It also presents proper protection practices from corrosive substances as well as methods of treating exposure to those substances.

 

Employee exposure to corrosives can be evaluated to determine the need for engineering and administrative controls as well as the need for personal protective equipment. The results from injuries can be severe and even fatal. Mists produced by liquids can result in lung damage if inhaled, serious burns or irritation can be the result of accidental contact to the skin or eyes, and lung and skin cancer have been linked to chromic acid. Additional threats to employees are posed by the ease with which many corrosive chemicals ignite, explode or react with incompatible substances.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, contractors, construction workers and other professionals interested in understanding how corrosives work and the best ways to protect oneself from their negative impacts.
