Planning and Implementation of Chemical Handling, Laboratory & Process Safety Training Course in Mombasa, Kenya
Classroom training in Mombasa · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,600
A mislabelled drum, an incompatible storage shelf, an uncontrolled reaction or an ignored alarm can turn routine chemical work into a fire, toxic release or explosion. Laboratories, factories, water treatment works, mines and hospitals all handle hazardous substances, often with limited planning. Over five days you learn how to identify chemical hazards, put controls in place and keep them working.
You begin with hazard classification, the Globally Harmonised System, labels and safety data sheets, then move to exposure assessment, occupational exposure limits and the hierarchy of controls. Practical topics include storage segregation, transfer and dispensing, ventilation and fume cupboards, personal protective equipment, waste management and laboratory housekeeping. Process safety sessions introduce layers of protection, HAZOP and what-if studies, management of change, permit to work, relief systems and the lessons of major accidents. Emergency planning covers spill response, fire, first aid and decontamination. The programme suits laboratory managers and technicians, chemical plant supervisors, HSE officers, environmental health staff, engineers and facility managers in industry, universities, health and the public sector. Afterwards you can complete a chemical risk assessment, review a storage area and lead a basic process hazard review. Delivery options include classroom, online and in-house, ending in a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Chemicals are indispensable to manufacturing, water treatment, agriculture, healthcare and research, but they carry fire, toxic and environmental risks that unfold quickly when controls fail. Many incidents involve ordinary mistakes: unlabelled containers, mixed waste streams, bypassed interlocks or maintenance carried out without proper isolation. Employers also face growing expectations from inspectors, insurers and communities to demonstrate systematic control.
The Planning and Implementation of Chemical Handling, Laboratory & Process Safety Training Course builds safety from the container up to the whole process. Participants first learn to classify and communicate hazards, assess exposure and choose suitable controls for everyday handling, storage and laboratory tasks. The course then widens to process safety management: understanding how loss of containment occurs, applying hazard identification techniques, controlling change and maintenance work, and preparing facilities and people for emergencies.
Delivery combines technical input with practical activities. Participants analyse real safety data sheets, inspect photographs of storage and laboratory areas for faults, work through a HAZOP node, and plan a response to a simulated spill. They finish with an implementation plan that sets out priorities, responsibilities and timelines for their own site.
Training Objectives
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Classify chemical hazards and interpret labels and safety data sheets under GHS.
- Assess exposure to hazardous substances and select controls using the hierarchy of controls.
- Plan safe storage, segregation, transfer and waste handling for chemicals.
- Apply safe working practices in laboratories, including fume cupboard and PPE use.
- Explain the principles of process safety, including layers of protection and management of change.
- Use HAZOP and what-if techniques to identify process deviations and safeguards.
- Operate permit-to-work and isolation arrangements for non-routine tasks.
- Prepare spill, fire and medical emergency response procedures.
