Certificate in Chemical Safety

The objective of the Chemical Safety programme by IGMPI is to impart training on how to identify chemical hazardous areas and where they exist around the facility. Personnel that will bring chemical hazards to the facility or engage in hazardous chemical work also need to complete the extended chemical safety training.

Chemical Safety is achieved by undertaking all activities involving chemicals in such a way as to ensure the safety of human health and the environment. It covers all chemicals, natural and manufactured, and the full range of exposure situations from the natural presence of chemicals in the environment to their extraction or synthesis, industrial production, transport use and disposal.

Chemical safety has many scientific and technical components. Among these are toxicology, ecotoxicology and the process of chemical risk assessment which requires a detailed knowledge of exposure and of biological effects.

Chemical hazards and toxic substances pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation, sensitization, and carcinogenicity) and physical hazards (such as flammability, corrosion, and explosibility). So we will learn here how to prevent ourselves from hazardous chemicals and what & which equipment should be used for various types of chemicals.

Pharma, and Post Graduates such as M. tech, M.Pharma & M.Sc are eligible to enroll for this course. As this course is truly professional and industry oriented, employed individuals working in any sector (production, processing, quality, Process engineering, technology transfer, Pilot plant, R&D etc.) in any chemical (Petrochemical, Pesticides, Fertilizers, Chemicals), food and pharmaceutical industry can seek benefits of the course.

Programme Duration

The candidate is expected to complete the course in a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 months.

Registration

The registration dates for this bi-annual program run by the institute are updated timely on the webpage. The Training sessions and webinars are strictly scheduled depending on the availability of speakers. Though the recorded lectures are also made available through the IGMPI Learning Management System so the participants are able to listen to them according to their own pace. Effective E-learning tools incorporated into the design of the webpage make the course lectures, videos and study material easily accessible. This gives huge window of self-regulated and self-paced performance to the participants.

Programme Fee

The mandatory course fee (one-time payment) for the distance cum e learning mode is Rs. 14,000/- (400 USD for overseas students). This covers for the course registration fees, tuition fees, course material fees etc. Apart from this, an examination fee of Rs 400/-(USD 15) per module needs to be paid later as per the examination notification of the Institute.

Examination & Certification

All the participants are obliged to timely submit completed assessment assignments (during the course, usually after every module) and appear for an online proctored exam at the end of the course. After successful completion, the participants will be awarded Certificate in Chemical Safety by IGMPI. For all the above-mentioned modules elaborate course material, self-assessment assignments and project work details would be provided by the Institute from time to time. Details get updated on the web page as well.
