Chemical Safety Services
If you work with chemicals, you will be responsible for ensuring your own safety and that of your team, as well as any members of the public you come into contact with. This is where we come in, with our Chemical Safety Training, designed to ensure that all employees are trained in chemical safety and can protect human health and the environment as standard.
Responsibilities for Chemical Safety
Did you know that employers are responsible for determining which hazardous substances are present in the workplace and assessing the risks associated with these? It is the responsibility of an employer to prevent or control exposure to these substances wherever possible and to provide training, information and emergency protocols.
Employees, on the other hand, are responsible for following protocols and using control measures and PPE where provided. Employees must also report any problems with machinery or equipment, or any incidents involving chemicals, immediately.Chemical Safety Training
Our Chemical Awareness Training Course is designed to ensure that all participants have an understanding of what chemicals are, as well as the knowledge and skills to work safely with them. Topics covered include Health and Safety Legislation and Regulations, safe handling, chemical control measures, accidents, first aid and more.
Chemical Agent Risk Assessment
We can carry out full risk assessments for chemical safety in your workplace, independently or as part of a Safety Audit. As part of this process, we will provide you with a comprehensive report that highlights any areas of concern and we will work with you to strategise solutions. Our aim is to ensure your business is fully compliant with legislation and that you and your team members are protected. We can also offer training in the risk assessment process so that your team can take full responsibility for the chemical safety of your workplace.
Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor
A Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor is responsible for advising on the transportation, packing and filling of dangerous goods, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation. Any organisation that uses dangerous goods, including chemicals, should have a qualified Safety Advisor and you can find out if this is relevant to your business when you talk to us at ASM. There are many complexities in the legislation surrounding dangerous goods so it is important to take the time to find out how this applies to your specific situation and our experts can help with this.
Chemical Inventory Management
When you are working with chemicals, it is very important to maintain an accurate inventory to comply with requirements for using, handling and storing hazardous materials. This is a vital process to manage risk and we can help you to establish a procedure that works for your organisation. Managing your chemical inventory effectively can help you to make safe and effective choices while you are handling, storing and managing chemicals. This will also streamline your ordering and reordering process, help you to ensure safe disposal procedures, safer storage practices and ensure compliance with hazardous materials limits.
Emergency Situations
We offer training to ensure that your team members know what to do in an emergency situation, and this can include potential hazards such as chemical spills, fire, explosion, threat to environment or property and chemical exposure. This is a vital way to protect your business and your team and we will be delighted to help you with this.
