Is part of:
1. Knowledge and understanding: Know the preventive bases for emergencies (first fire rescue) in the workplace.
Knowing how an industrial toxic agent works and how to identify his presence in the workplace.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding to read and evaluate a safety data sheet in order to draw up a chemical risk assessment.
Know how some industrial toxicants act and how to prevent poisoning
3. Making judgements: be able to work avoiding occupational injuries and diseases
4. Communication skills: be able to communicate occupational hazards and understand related risks
5. Learning skills: be able to deepen arguments learned during the course, also looking to specific literature
Basic elements of chemistry and biochemistry
Emergencies in workplace regulations and prevention
First aid regulatory organization and prevention
Antincendio normative organization and prevention
General toxicology:
kinetics: absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination of toxic substances
dynamics: dose and effect, adverse effect; graduated and non-graduable effects; dose-response relationship effects with threshold and without threshold; acute and chronic toxicity measures; non-effect derivative levels.
Risk assessment: hazard identification, dose-response, classification and labeling, REACH, exposure definition, biological monitoring; risk characterization
Overview of risk management.
Special toxicology: carbon monoxide; phosgene; formaldehyde; solvent toxicity, with particular reference
benzene, xylol, toluene; metals :; PAH, dioxins
Industrial carcinogens IARC and EEC Classification
