Training: Learn to stay safe when handling chemicals - protect yourself, others and the environment

What are the hazards of the chemical you work with?

What action would you need to take during a chemical incident?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions you could be putting yourself and others at risk!

As the UK’s National Chemical Emergency Centre (NCEC) we deal with chemical emergencies on a daily basis. NCEC  has recognised that many people are unaware of the hazards posed by the chemicals they are regularly dealing with and panic when things go wrong. 

NCEC provide set courses as well as bespoke training to meet your needs.  All of these courses are designed to keep you and others safe when coming into contact with chemicals.
