| Chemical Hazards Communication Society - Safety Data Sheet Training |
CHCS offers training courses on the writing of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), and related issues such as classification, labelling and other documentation. |
| |
Well-known trainer Dr Stuart Longworth and his Training Sub-Group have devised a modular course introducing the skills that are needed to put together a Safety Data Sheet. Stuart led the CHCS team whose 2001 research uncovered failings in five out of six SDSs in a sample of SDSs being issued at the time. The CHCS Modular course was our response to that problem of the majority of SDSs.
These courses are specially prepared for CHCS, and given by acknowledged UK experts in their fields.
Dates and Venues are set for modules on a rolling basis.
Please note that to ensure the most effective training the courses will normally be limited to a maximum of 14 students. To book your place please complete the booking form that an be found by clicking on the link to the details of the appropriate module(s).
