Experience overview.
The handling of hazardous substances is a necessary part of many occupations. Different types of hazardous substances require different levels of protection and identification, but all must be handled, transported, and disposed safely to prevent harm to workers and the environment. To achieve this, workers need to know how to navigate and utilise the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS). Next World’s VR Hazardous Substances training course teaches employees the importance of following these SDSs when working around high-risk substances. Trainees are presented with several different scenarios in which they must identify the necessary information, using the appropriate sections of an SDS.
