SME: Mark DiNardo, CSP

A review of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board's website shows a running scroll of chemical accidents in the news. Almost on a daily basis, there is a listing for a fire or explosion at an industrial site and many of these accidents are due to an explosive or flammable chemical. While production and use of these types of chemicals are essential to many industries, it is vital that they are handled properly to prevent the loss of life, property damage, or evacuations of nearby communities. Through this interactive, online course, a foundation for recognizing the classification of explosive or flammable chemicals will be provided. In addition, safe work practices for the storage and use of these chemicals will be presented.
