Safe handling of chemicals
Chemicals make our everyday life easier, but they can also be dangerous. To ensure safe handling, certain basic principles must be observed when working with chemicals. Sufficient knowledge and conscientious handling are two fundamental elements for safe work in the laboratory. Even the smallest amount of hazardous substances can lead to reactions with dramatic consequences for people and the environment if handled incorrectly.
In this two-day seminar, the trainer will teach you the basics, such as the classification and labeling of chemicals, as well as how to assess their potential hazards.
