This year 3 classes are available, namely the Fire and Explosion, Chemicals and Radioactive classes.

Class Description:

Fire and Explosion

This class discusses fire and explosion hazards that can be caused by gas, fog / vapor or flammable dust particles. In addition, there will also be explained ways to prevent fires or explosions to create a safe environment.

Chemicals

This class will discuss what characteristics need to be considered in chemicals (chemicals) in the industry, especially those related to safety. This is intended to determine the appropriate handling method for each chemical. Chemicals with different characteristics require different treatments.

Radioactive

This class will focus on discussing hazards related to radioactive substances. This can be in the form of radiation or various sources of radiation. In addition, the effects will arise if workers are exposed to radioactive substances and how to prevent radiation exposure.

Congratulations on the achievement of satisfying achievements, hopefully becoming an inspiration and encouragement for other students.
