Hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium(VI) is widely used in many industrial applications. Nowadays, its use is mostly restricted. As a result, a number of companies had to find a replacement or were even shut down. The reason? It is extremely hazardous! It is a scientifically proven fact, that it causes lung cancer. Hexavalent chromium is also a skin sensitizer, corrosive, and oxidizing.
Safety note: This training does not apply for exposure to hexavalent chromium fumes (e.g. welding operations). This awareness training is intended to help you understand the fundamental terms and rules, as well as identify the training needs for specific activities. It is NOT sufficient to undertake any work activities in hazardous areas without previous training. Further training is mandatory for respirator wearers.
