Spill prevention and response, done right
This spillage training course covers how to store, use and transport dangerous substances to minimise the risk of a spill, and how to respond correctly when one occurs. Content covers the importance of spillage prevention, the legislative requirements, the hazards associated with spillages, where information can be obtained, control measures, and what to do in the event of a spillage. Uncontrolled spillages can cause significant environmental damage and substantial fines - the course gives delegates the framework to prevent and manage them.
Three steps to a certified team
Pick the course, confirm a date, and we run the training. Every delegate leaves with a certificate - clear booking, clear agenda, no admin chase.
