Hello Folks I'm looking for a training course to send someone on to become a Chemical Safety Officer. We've had folk do very good training for Biological Safety Officers but the chemical training I'm finding online seems to be more general COSHH awareness stuff. The trainees would already be experienced scientists. Any recommendations?

Hi ttxela
Your thread has been read over 70 times but with no reply, so I will try to get the conversation moving. What do you actually means by a Chemical Safety Officer? As until you can decide on that it is unlikely that you could work out what might be appropriate training. You gave the comparison with a Biological Safety Officer (which might not be the title that some organisations would choose). But the training for such a person would vary depending on the nature of the risks - both in type and level so that e.g. more training might be needed for someone working in Cat 4 pathogen laboratories than for a person working in a veterinary practice. AND in each case whether the risks are from chemicals or biological hazards, what is appropriate may vary depending on how much the employer (or other primary duty holder) is reliant on delegating tasks to their "Safety Officer(s)".
