Managers of hazardous materials must understand and communicate chemical information. Chemistry for Managers teaches chemical fundamentals and demonstrates their practical application so participants can make more informed judgments about chemicals in the environment and in the workplace. This course clarifies hazardous materials common terms and concepts used in environmental, health, and safety practices. It also demonstrates how to apply chemical concepts to gain a better understanding of environmental issues and more efficiently comply with regulations.

This course is designed to be relevant to persons without previous chemical knowledge and to those seeking to refresh their understanding of central concepts.
