The course pays attention to a detailed theoretical and practical explanation of chemical and biological hazard and waste management in the working place and how to estimate their hazards and dealing with their accidents and waste disposal.
The proposed courses will sheds the light on the potential risks related to chemical and biological hazards in work environment, also the courses will focuses on the processes, techniques, knowledge and risk assessment required to control these hazards in the workplace, to reduce the risk of accident and injuries.
A lecturer of physical chemistry will teach the chemical and physical hazards, whereas a lecturer of biological sciences will teach the biological hazards. Light will also be shed on how to deal with poisonous, harmful, inflammable and corrosive chemicals as well as different types of radiation (microwave, ultraviolet, and gamma rays). The course concentrates also on the extreme high and low pressure, high magnetic field, high temperature, moisture and ventilation. Attention will also be paid to the ways of dealing with an atmosphere that is replete with bacteria, viruses and harmful insects together with their expected effect on health.
Also a comprehensive course in waste management for biological and chemical waste will be proposed to introduce participants to procedures and protocols for the removal and discarding of chemical and biological wastes at workplace in compliance with to federal and local requirements.
