For workers who use, store or work near chemicals: reading the label and safety data sheet, and the controls that keep chemicals where they belong.
Cleaning products, fuels, solvents, paints, gases, pesticides and process chemicals can burn, poison, cause cancer or catch fire. Most harm happens when somebody did not know what they were handling, or used it in a way the label warns against.
This talk teaches workers to read the hazard pictograms and the label, find the safety data sheet, store and decant chemicals safely, use the right protective equipment, and respond to a spill or exposure.
After the session, participants will be able to:
Yes. The slides, handout and guide are editable, and the facilitator guide marks the places to add your own procedures, contacts and photos of your workplace.
No. It is there if your business wants a record that each worker understood the key points. The attendance record on its own shows who attended and when.
Yes. Presentations, guides, workbooks and templates are supplied in editable formats so you can adapt them to your workplace. The copyright notice must stay.
Yes. The hazards and the controls in each toolbox talk apply in any workplace. The duties slide and the facilitator guide's "check before you deliver" table refer to Australian WHS and OHS laws, licences and standards, so a business elsewhere should swap those for its own country's rules. Everything is editable.
Yes. The package includes an editable certificate template, an attendance record (Word, plus an Excel register) and an optional 10-question multiple-choice assessment with an answer key, so you can record who attended and, if you choose, that each worker understood the key points. It is a certificate of completion issued by your business, not a nationally recognised qualification.
Yes. The packages are designed for face-to-face sessions and work over a video meeting platform. The facilitator guide notes where an activity needs adjusting for online delivery.
Yes, as many times as you like, for your own organisation's workers.

For every worker who wears PPE: where it sits in the hierarchy of control, and how to choose, fit, wear, look after and replace it so it actually protects.
For every worker: how fires start and spread, choosing the right extinguisher, and knowing when not to fight a fire.
