This Chromium (VI) Awareness Online course is intended for workers who may be exposed to chromium VI (i.e., hexavalent chromium) at their workplace. The training will provide a general understanding of the hazards and health effects of exposure, as well as employer requirements intended to prevent workplace exposures.
Workers who may be exposed to chromium VI include those who work with dyes and pigments in paints, inks, and plastics, chromium electroplating, anti-corrosive additives, or alloying, and hot work (i.e., welding) on materials containing chromium VI. If you are involved in any of these occupations, or suspect hazardous chemicals are used as part of your job, be sure to ask your employer if chromium VI is used at your workplace.
While this course provides information on the dangers of chromium VI and recommended exposure limits, the methods of protection provided by your employer may necessitate additional training in order to maximize the methods’ effectiveness. Training in the use of workplace-specific equipment and safety procedures should be provided by your employer
