What it covers

Topics inside this course

Awareness and induction depth — not an accredited occupational qualification.

  • Labels and pictograms
  • SDS: where to find it (placeholder)
  • PPE as specified — don’t improvise
  • Spills and first aid: raise the alarm
  • Office chemicals count
Who it is for

Built for the people who take the training

Staff who use, store or walk past chemicals: cleaners, warehouse, facilities, labs-adjacent roles, and office staff with a cleaning cupboard.

What learners leave able to do

  • Read a GHS label well enough to stop and ask before using an unknown container
  • Know that an SDS exists and where your organisation keeps it
  • Avoid decanting into food or drink bottles
  • Raise the alarm on spills instead of inventing chemistry
Course outline

Modules you can expect

Structure may tighten when you localise from your own source pack in Kre8AI — this is the shape of the library title.

  1. 1
    If it has a diamond, read it

    GHS without a chemistry degree.

  2. 2
    SDS

    The sheet exists; go and get it.

  3. 3
    Decanting is how people get hurt

    No water bottles, no unlabelled spray guns.

  4. 4
    Spills

    Alarm first.

  5. 5
    Knowledge check

    Scored assessment.

Scored assessment. Intro only. Labs and plants need role-specific modules after this.

About this course

Written for the workplace, not for the statute book alone

Hazardous-substances training is often aimed at a lab while the injury happens in a cleaning store. This intro covers labels, SDS, no decanting, PPE as specified, and spill alarm — for offices as well as warehouses.

GHS pictograms are taught as stop-signs, not as a memorisation contest. SDS location is a placeholder until you generate from your real library path. Spill response follows your SOP; without one, the course says raise the alarm.

It is not occupational-hygiene monitoring or a full HCA practitioner course. Pair with environmental duty of care and first-aid awareness.

Generate from COSHH/HCA extracts, GHS pictogram guidance, and your SOP in Kre8AI. Publish as SCORM or HTML. Verify pictogram reproduction licences.

Re-export when the SDS library moves or the chemical list changes materially. Assign to facilities and warehouse first, then all staff if you have cleaning cupboards on every floor.
