This module deals with metal welding fumes, which can, depending on their composition, concentration and duration of exposure, present harmful effects on health and be the cause of occupational pathologies. The risks concern not only welders but also people working nearby. Their prevention is based on the implementation of collective protection systems, which can be supplemented by the wearing of personal protective equipment.

This module addresses the subject of solvents, widely used in various sectors such as painting, metal or textile cleaning, stripping and perfume manufacturing. Workers, sometimes unknowingly, are exposed to these products. Even regular exposure to small amounts can cause long-term health problems, some of which are irreversible. Therefore, it is crucial to favor the substitution of dangerous solvents to preserve the health of workers.

This module deals with the risks associated with the presence of bitumen in road coatings, asphalts and other waterproof coatings, which can affect the health of exposed workers. These dangers include symptoms such as coughing, headaches and trouble sleeping. To prevent these risks in activities involving bitumen, measures are recommended, such as reducing coating application temperatures or using machines equipped with smoke capture systems.

This module offers training on the risks associated with Meopa (equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide) which is a medication subject to medical prescription, administered by inhalation, used to relieve patients’ pain or help them manage their pain. anxiety during short-term care procedures. Although beneficial for patients, this treatment can pose health risks to caregivers. It is therefore essential that all services using Meopa put in place preventive measures to avoid inhalation of this gas by healthcare staff.

This module deals with additive manufacturing (or 3D printing), which is booming in the industry, which consists of manufacturing objects by adding material in successive layers. This process can expose employees to various risks related to handling, optical radiation and the use of electrical equipment. However, most of this file is devoted to chemical risk, which is more specific to this technology.

This module offers training in the sectors of activity most exposed to lead, in particular those of construction, industry and crafts. This module offers training in the sectors of activity most exposed to lead, in particular those of construction, industry and crafts. Additionally, lead and its compounds are classified as reproductive toxicants. Prevention measures aim to reduce worker exposure to lead to the lowest level technically possible.
