objectivesWorkers may be exposed to a number of substances considered toxic or hazardous per OSHA Standard 29 CFR Part 1910.1000 Subpart Z while performing their job duties. When these substances contaminate the air, they can potentially cause illness, injuries, and even fatalities. The Subpart Z Toxic and Hazardous Substances for General Industry course from OSHA Education School identifies 24 hazardous substances and areas of concern and provides toxic and hazardous substances training to help workers stay protected on the job when air contaminants are present.
During this course, students will learn more about OSHA’s standards for air contaminants and safe work practices. Course topics include:
An introduction to Subpart Z
Air contaminants, including asbestos, vinyl chloride, and 13 known carcinogens
The dangers of exposure to common toxic and hazardous substances, including lead, chromium VI, inorganic arsenic, and more
Hazard Communication (HazCom)
Retention of DOT markings, placards and labels
The use of hazardous chemicals in labs
How to understand Z tables, including:
Table Z-1 “Limits for Air Contaminants”
Table Z-2
Table Z-3 “Mineral Dusts”
Using OSHA’s computation formula to determine permissible exposure limits (PELs)
3 primary air contaminant controls
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
At the end of the course, students will understand how to prevent exposure to airborne contaminants and work safely when these substances are present.
descriptionThis course discusses 24 chemicals and areas of concern that are classified as poisonous or hazardous under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z. These include the following: air contaminants, asbestos, 13 carcinogens, vinyl chloride, inorganic arsenic, worker right to know (access to exposure data and medical records), lead, chromium XI, cadmium, benzene, coke oven emissions, bloodborne pathogens, cotton dust, DBCP, acrylonitrile, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, MDA, 1, 3 butadiene, methylene chloride, I The course covers the identification of numerous chemicals, their routes of exposure and symptoms of exposure, as well as their exposure limits and controls.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA 4 training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
