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.

Work likely to expose employees to the inhalation of crystalline silica dust is present in the majority of manufacturing and construction industries. However, the health effects of this mineral can be particularly serious and disabling (notably silicosis and lung cancer). It is therefore appropriate to reduce occupational exposure to crystalline silica to the lowest possible level. This module on the risks associated with crystalline silica dust concludes the training on dust risks. It complements general prevention and wood dust.

Exposure to sensitizing agents can cause occupational allergies, whether skin or respiratory. These conditions frequently require job adjustments, reclassification, or career redirection for affected workers. It is therefore essential to prevent these situations. In this module, you will discover the risks associated with exposure to sensitizing agents.

Working at height, whether on a frame, roof, pylon, platform or scaffolding, carries risks, whether it is temporary or regular work. Falls with a difference in height represent the second cause of fatal accidents at work, just after traffic accidents. In order to prevent these falls, it is essential to intervene at different levels, whether by improving the design of structures and equipment, adapting workstations or modifying operational procedures. This module will allow you to understand the correct reflexes to avoid falls with a difference in height.

Work accidents linked to slips, trips, missteps or loss of balance, commonly called “level” falls, are still too often considered inevitable and of little consequence. However, contrary to this perception, they represent one of the main causes of accidents in the professional environment. These incidents can have serious, even fatal, repercussions for the employees involved. All sectors of activity are likely to be affected by this type of accident. This module will allow you to understand the right reflexes to avoid falls of all kinds.
