About this course
Dust is everywhere. At home, it’s usually no more than an unsightly reminder that we need to get out the feather duster. Household dust is usually no more than a nuisance, at worst aggravating people’s allergies but, in certain work environments, dust can be downright dangerous.
Whether somebody works in a naturally dusty environment or whether dust is created by the work they do, there are certain risks that they could faceby spending a workday surrounded by these tiny floating particles.
This Dust Awareness Training course teaches users how to identify the different kinds of dust, the dangers they pose, and what they can do to stay safe. The course can be completed in just 30 minutes and provides a printable certificate upon completion.

- Carrying out a risk assessment
- Preventing or controlling exposure to hazardous substances
- Giving employees the right information, instruction, and training
- Providing appropriate protective equipment, where necessary
- Making sure control measures are used and properly maintained
- Creating plans and procedures to deal with accidents and emergencies involving hazardous substances
