This course covers the skills and knowledge required to use and manage spill kits, including a focus on the relevance of material spilled, how much of it was spilled, where the spill occurred (the people, plant, and equipment affected), drains, ventilation, surface, and temperature of surface.
The ready2work HSE series is designed for all staff and will typically follow from the ready2start series. With a basic grounding from the associated courses in that range, we can now focus on specific hazards and more detail. Workers should complete these courses at the very start of their employment and most titles would need to be refreshed every one or two years based on workplace requirements to ensure they are updated with the latest protocols and practices.
Understand how to identify spills and potential spill scenarios, and conduct hazard analyses to determine the appropriate response. Gain knowledge on effective spill response, including the use of spill kits and the involvement of specialists to ensure safety and containment. Learn crucial steps after cleaning a spill, including proper disposal, restocking, and the importance of reporting incidents to help improve processes and avoid future incidents.
