Control of hazardous substances

This course describes possible ways of exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace, and the basic steps to recognize and control exposure. Here, the methodologies and technologies available to control exposures and, hence, reduce risks to health are described. A considerable amount of attention is paid to ventilation systems, contamination and personal protection equipment. In addition, several practical applications of control strategies in a variety of industrial sectors are given.

The material is appropriate for students/participants, who have basic knowledge of physics and biology. For teachers, a guideline is added.

The course consists of ready-to-use material, that can be downloaded free of charge, printed and displayed. No on-line interaction is necessary.
