About Hazardous Substances in Healthcare

Healthcare workers are routinely exposed to a variety of hazardous substances. They must understand the risks involved and measures to protect themselves and others. This course supports meeting the legal requirement to provide information, instruction and training to any employee that works with substances hazardous to their health.

Why Is Hazardous Substances in Healthcare Important?

Exposure to these substances can lead to many short and long-term health effects such as skin rashes and disorders of the lung, kidney and liver.
