The "Science of Safety" also known as toxicology is a critical topic for occupational and environmental health and safety professionals to understand. Information and knowledge about toxicology help OEHS professionals implement safety programs and policies to limit workers' exposure to toxic substances. These programs and policies prevent and reduce the likelihood that a disease or other negative outcome will affect the community around them. Understanding the fundamentals of toxicology can help you anticipate the potential for exposure, recognize routes of exposure, and notice signs and symptoms of exposure while helping you to take steps to prevent exposure. These concepts are a major component found on OEHS certification exams too!
This self-paced PDC will give you the toxicology terminology you need to interpret reports and describe the major types of toxicological interactions while providing the history and principles of toxicology.
