Hazardous Materials Learning Module

Module Description:

This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides "information on hazardous materials and how these materials could affect one's health and the safety of the working environment." This module is divided into the following five units: HazMat I and II Knowledge Probe (Pre-test), HazMat I Primary Knowledge (Reading Material), HazMat II Primary Knowledge (Reading Material), Haz Mat I and II Activity, and Final Assessment.

Module Contents: 

This module includes six instructor guides, five participant guides, and two presentations. PDF and DOC versions are provided for all of the guides. The included guides are Hazardous Materials II Primary Knowledge, Hazardous Materials I Primary Knowledge, Hazardous Materials I and II Knowledge Probe, an activity, and a Final Assessment. Instructor guides include additional content such as instructor notes and questions and answers. A Learning Module Map (LM) Instructor Guide is also included. 

The LM map provides information about the module including module contents, target audience, and a map that is divided into the following three sections: Important Steps, Key Points, and Reasons. 

Hazardous Materials I Primary Knowledge is an instructional unit with the following learning objectives:

• Describe at least five characteristics of chemicals that are physical hazards.
• Describe at last five characteristics of chemicals that are considered health hazards.
• Match the physical and health hazards to their warning symbols.

The following sections are included in this unit guide: Introduction, Why is this information important, What Everyone Should Know, Learning Module Objectives, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Facts, OSHA Hazardous Communications Standard, Standard Requirements, and more. 

Hazardous Materials II Primary Knowledge is an instructional unit with the following learning objectives:

• Describe at least five characteristics of chemicals that are physical hazards.
• Describe at last five characteristics of chemicals that are considered health hazards.
• Match the physical and health hazards to their warning symbols.

The following sections are included in this unit guide: Introduction, Learning Module Objectives, Key Terms, Chemical Characteristics of Health Hazards, Additional Health Hazards, Matching Activity, Health Hazards Warning Symbols, and more.  

Hazardous Materials I and II Knowledge Probe includes 16 questions and could be used as either a pre-test or post-test to assess student knowledge of hazardous materials, including  terminology, characteristics, and the effects of chemicals.

In the Hazardous Materials I and II Activity, students demonstrate their "basic understanding of the terminology associated with hazardous materials," by completing a crossword puzzle, an interactive Jeopardy-style game, and answering post-activity questions.

Hazardous Materials I and II Final Assessment includes 16 questions and should be given to students at the completion of the module.

Two presentations are also included with the following titles: Hazardous Materials I and Hazardous Materials II. Each presentation provides a unit overview, objectives, and additional information:

• Hazardous Materials I provides information on the physical hazards of chemicals and the federal regulations for protecting people from the hazards associated with chemicals.
• Hazardous Materials II covers the characteristics of chemicals that are health hazards. It also covers how chemicals can enter the body and what one can do to prevent toxic exposure.

The presentations are provided in both PDF and PowerPoint formats.

For orientation purposes the Saf_HazMat_LM_Map.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this module.
