One spill, one mistake, or one poorly labelled container can lead to serious injuries, environmental damage, regulatory fines—or worse.

You will learn how to correctly handle, label, store, and transport chemicals in compliance with Australian legislation, and how to respond swiftly and safely when a spill occurs.
