Chemical Hazards & Safety Data Sheet Training

CHCS Training Syllabus

Each Module is designed as a stand-alone course. Modules can be taken in any order, but we recommend that delegates have a solid knowledge of the basic and core subjects before taking modules on the interpretation and use of knowledge. Modules 5 & 11, 6 & 12, 8 & 10, 53 & 20 are normally offered as 'pairs' (presented in consecutive weeks, each module itself on two consecutive mornings). Delegates can nonetheless choose to attend an individual Module from any of those pairs.
