objectivesThe Hazardous Material Awareness course from OSHA Education School is designed specifically for employees in the Manufacturing Industry. Participants of this course can expect to learn how to recognize the different types of hazardous materials, as well as risks of working with them.
The National Safety Council (NSC) reported more than 4,000 workplace related deaths in 2018 alone. The 60-minute Hazardous Material Awareness Training teaches participants methods to control potential physical and health hazards associated with working with hazardous materials, as well as individual responsibility for anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling such materials in the workplace.
OSHA Education School’s Hazardous Materials Awareness course is a 60-minute introductory-level training designed to help Manufacturing employees identify, evaluate, and control workplace dangers associated with hazardous materials. Specific course topics include the following:
Definitions of hazardous materials, hazardous locations, and confined spaces
Four routes of entry/exposure
Types of physical and health hazards associated with hazardous materials
Storage, handling, and use of 13 hazardous materials
Examples of worksite exposure to hazardous materials
The Hierarchy of Controls for hazardous materials
How to control physical and health hazards
Hazardous waste operations and emergency response
Examples of hazardous material worksheets
Who should be involved in the process of identifying and controlling hazards
Links to additional sources of information and assistance
Knowledge checks to evaluate your understanding
descriptionThe Hazardous Material Awareness course from was created especially for manufacturing industry workers. Participants in this course may expect to learn how to identify several kinds of hazardous chemicals, as well as the associated hazards. In 2018, the National Safety Council (NSC) recorded more than 4,000 occupational fatalities. The 60-minute Hazardous Material Awareness Training teaches participants how to minimize physical and health hazards associated with working with hazardous materials, as well as how to take personal responsibility for anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling such materials in the workplace.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
Failure to pass quizzes and the final exam will result in being locked out of this online training program, but the learner can repurchase and start back from the beginning.
Upon completing this Hazardous Material Awareness For Manufacturing and the accompanying survey, you will receive an OSHA card from the provider of this OSHA training on behalf of the Department of Labor.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING TO RECEIVE YOUR DOL CARD
