4 Hour Vs 8 Hour Awareness Level Training

The 4-hour awareness level course often does not provide enough time to fully inform employees of the dangers associated with the hazardous chemicals they might be working around or in their general area. This course takes a broader approach by including basic knowledge of the chemicals involved and the opportunities for taking safe precautions.
