Overview

Handling, storing and transportation of toxic and hazardous materials is one of the key processes for any successful petrochemical, chemical, manufacturing and research organization. Materials that are classified as toxic or hazardous are part of most processes in these industries, and it is of the highest importance that we understand their properties, the protective approaches and optimum ways of handling, storing and transporting them. This course presents in detail all the information required for the understanding of the nature and properties of such agents along with extensive description of optimum approaches and practices for the industrial users.

FAQs

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
