Global Spill Control chemical spill response course

Global Spill Control has recently added a nationally accredited chemical spill response course, designed for employees that work in stores, factories, hospitals, workshops and mine sites.

Chemicals are used extensively throughout industry, so there is always an ongoing spill or contamination risk when handling, storing or using chemicals.

The 3½ h course is designed specifically for personnel that may be required to respond to small workplace emergencies including an actual release of a chemical liquid.

Participants are taught how to: understand chemical labelling and material safety data sheets; assess the spill; select suitable personal protective equipment (PPE); and control and clean up the spill using appropriate spill equipment.

The course is aligned with Australian Standard AS3745-2010 ‘Planning for Emergencies in Facilities’.
