Course Contents

The aim of this course is to inform you about benzene and where you may be exposed to it. This course also advises on what might happen if you are exposed and the precautions you and your employer can take to stay safe. Finally, this course offers guidelines on how to respond if exposure does occur.
Employers should provide additional training when a new hazard/procedure/condition or piece of equipment is introduced into the workplace or “unscheduled” refresher training is recommended as directed to address inadequacies in knowledge and to address unsafe acts/deviations from procedures.
