Learning objectives
At the end of the training, students should have acquired knowledge and skills related to Industrial hygiene
(with special attention to physic- and chemical hazards)
Particularly, students should be able to:
1. know the basic of risk assessment mainly related to chemical agents in worker place;
2. Learn about prevention and protection systems with particular attention to protective equipment for Chemical Agents (PPE);
3. Know the meaning of environmental and biological monitoring;
4. Know chemicals hazard classification and labelling in accordance with EU legislation REACH and CLP
5. Understand the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and labelling
6. Know the implications related to the use of CMR chemical agents in working place.
