Description
The storage and handling of hazardous materials requires compliance with a complex array of regulations and the use of specialized technical facilities, operations and equipment to ensure safe and proper management. The legislation ranges from the Transportation of Dangerous Goods to the Building Code, Fire Code and WHMIS, with additional international standards for voluntary compliance.

This seminar provides a practical overview and approach to assessing the properties of hazardous materials and defines the legislative framework surrounding the safe management of these materials. It also offers practical guidelines for identifying, isolating, and managing some of the risks associated with these materials and methods for evaluating facilities and specialized equipment necessary for the safe and effective storage and transfer of hazardous materials.
