This course emphasises the importance of safety and preparedness in handling spills. Learn to recognise potential spills, assess hazard levels, and execute appropriate responses while prioritising the safety and well-being of individuals. Spill kits play a pivotal role in ensuring a prompt, effective, and safe spill response that upholds workplace safety standards, and protects our people, assets, and the environment.
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.
