  • Explain what a chemical is and that use of any chemical constitutes potential for an exposure risk
  • Explain your responsibility as a worker to prevent exposure incidents
  • Recognize hazardous chemicals as classified by the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and sort them into their respective categories
  • List conditions that may present an exposure risk, possible routes of exposure, and factors that influence an individual’s reaction to a chemical exposure incident
  • Identify who is responsible for evaluating chemical hazards and how the result of the evaluation is communicated to the end user
  • Demonstrate safe transport, storage, and disposal practices for hazardous chemicals
  • Describe the procedures for detecting and reacting to potential chemical exposure
  • Identify how to prepare for a chemical related accident
  • Describe the actions to be taken should a chemical related accident occur
