This course provides basic information on the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). After completing this course, learners will be able to recognize what COVID-19 is and how it differs from other viruses such as those that cause the common flu. Learners will also be able to recognize how to protect themselves and others against the disease. Lastly, learners will be able to identify the steps to take if you have been infected or think you have been infected with COVID-19.

You may know that corrosive materials can be hazardous to your skin and eyes, but are you aware of their other hazards? Corrosives (acids and bases) are materials that can cause chemical damage on contact with the skin, eyes, respiratory tract, digestive tract or even metal. Many chemicals commonly used in laboratories and the home are corrosive. Besides their health hazards, corrosives can be highly reactive. They can cause fires, explosions, or violent exothermic (heat-releasing) reactions, like an explosion. Take this training to learn how to safely identify, use and store corrosive materials, as well as methods for preventing and responding to exposure incidents and emergencies. This training is beneficial for anyone who has the potential to use or be near the use of corrosives.

Es posible que sepa que los materiales corrosivos pueden ser peligrosos para su piel y ojos, pero ¿está al tanto de otros peligros? Los materiales corrosivos (ácidos y bases) son materiales que pueden causar daños químicos cuando tienen contacto con la piel, los ojos, las vías respiratorias, las vías digestivas, o incluso con los metales. Muchos productos químicos que se usan comúnmente en laboratorios y en el hogar son corrosivos. Además de su peligro para la salud, los materiales corrosivos pueden ser altamente reactivos. Pueden causar incendios, explosiones o reacciones exotérmicas (liberación de calor) violentas, como una explosión. Tomo esta capacitación para aprender cómo identificar, usar y almacenar de manera segura los materiales corrosivos, además de conocer métodos para evitar y responder ante incidentes y emergencias por exposición. Esta capacitación es benéfica para cualquier persona que tenga el potencial de usar o estar cerca del uso de materiales corrosivos.
