This course explains how chlorine is used, it's hazards, and safe work practices for using and responding to incidents involving chlorine.
A 2008 update includes information about chlorine as it can be used as a weapon of mass destruction (WMD), and updated placard and labeling content. Because chlorine can be found in most rural and urban areas today, hazardous atmospheres can easily exist.
