OSHA Benzene Awareness Training Course Syllabus
This OSHA Benzene Awareness Training consists of 3 lessons . Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
Introduction
Lesson 1: Introduction to Benzene
This lesson defines what benzene is, its properties, uses, and the places it could be present. It will also help learners identify industries and work activities in which occupational exposure to benzene is likely to occur.
Lesson 2: Health Hazards and Exposure Prevention
In this lesson, learners will understand how benzene enters the body and what effects it may have on one's health. Moreover, the symptoms of overexposure to benzene will be discussed, along with preventive measures such as engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment to minimize exposure.
Lesson 3: OSHA Requirements and Safe Work Practices
This lesson provides an overview of the OSHA benzene standards, OSHA benzene exposure limits, and regulatory requirements that govern safe work when working around benzene. It also explains hazard communication, SDSs, safe handling and storage, and emergency response.
Final Examination
Frequently Asked Questions
This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements outlined in 29 CFR 1910.1028 and 29 CFR 1926.1128.
No. Benzene is a highly flammable liquid. But it is very volatile and produces fumes that may pose an inhalation risk to workers in environments where benzene is utilized or stored.
Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor and the chemical formula C₆H₆. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon used in the production of plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, and other industrial chemicals. Benzene is a known human carcinogen, and workplace exposure must be controlled to protect workers from harmful health effects.
Benzene is mainly used as a raw material for manufacturing chemicals and products such as plastics, synthetic fibers, resins, rubber, detergents, dyes, lubricants, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. It is also present in crude oil and gasoline. It is commonly found in petroleum refining, chemical manufacturing, and fuel storage and distribution operations.
Benzene concentration in workplace air is usually measured through air monitoring. Personal air sampling equipment will be used to collect samples in the breathing zone of the worker during the course of work. The analysis will then be conducted in the laboratory to determine the airborne benzene concentration.
- The course is specifically designed in line with OSHA benzene standards, 29 CFR 1910.1028 and 29 CFR 1926.1128.
- Created by health and safety professionals familiar with occupational benzene hazards and regulatory guidelines.
- Ensures that learners gain crucial information about the hazards of benzene and how to avoid exposure to it.
- Certificate issued to learners upon completion of the training program confirming completion of OSHA Benzene Awareness Training.
- Available in multiple learning modes such as online training, in-class training, and instructor-led training.
- Employees who may come into contact with benzene during handling, processing, storing, transporting, or using products containing benzene.
- Workers employed in various sectors like petroleum refining, petrochemicals, chemical processing, laboratories, and fuel operations.
- Maintenance workers, operators, and contractors carrying out tasks around equipment or systems where there is the presence of benzene.
- Supervisors, managers, and safety professionals overseeing work practices related to benzene.
- Personnel who provide emergency response in cases of spills or benzene exposure.
- Employers seeking to enhance safety within the workplace and educate their employees about benzene risks and how to prevent exposure.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Yes. According to OSHA, employers are supposed to conduct Benzene Awareness Training for employees during their first job assignment where benzene is found. If employee exposure exceeds the Action Level, employers must provide refresher training at least annually thereafter, according to benzene OSHA standards.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your Benzene Awareness certificate in PDF format.
