The safety datasheets for housing chemicals was really useful information, I'll be able to make so knowledgable changes to the way we store these items.  The references in the workbook for using the legislation and HSR duties was helpful in deepening my understanding of what I can do in a given situation.  - May 2024

The course gave me more confidence in my role and has given me improvements to suggest to management. Eventually found some gaps in our system at work. - May 2024
