This course covers the first element of unit B; the principles of control of chemical toxicology and epidemiology that includes as below:

ILO conventions and recommendations, like convention C 170 and recommendation R 177as well as the ILO code of practice 1993, this course involves also asbestos referring to asbestos types, health effects, and asbestos fibers sampling and measurements techniques, we will discuss additionally human body systems like respiratory system, integumentary system and cardiovascular system and what are routes of entry into these systems, carcinogenicity course which refers to cancer causes, malignant tumors development and scattering over the body, we will also discuss hazardous substances different health effects, airborne contaminants types along with their sizes and shapes, some specific workplace hazardous agents like Mercury, Nickle, Isocyanate, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, lead, benzene phenol, ammonia and sulphuric acid we will discuss their physical and chemical nature, industry in which they are used, health effects and target organ, in addition, this course covers CHIP, CLP and REACH.

The course also explains animal toxicity tests and human epidemiology as well as different past paper exams and command words explanation.

This is course is designed for those who want to boost up their chemical safe use knowledge at work or even at home as well as become familiar with chemical safe use related-standards, ILO conventions, ILO Recommendations, and ILO code of practices.
