This course provides a comprehensive overview of the health risks associated with cadmium exposure, particularly in occupational settings such as manufacturing, construction, and metalworking. Participants will learn about cadmium’s acute and chronic health effects, including respiratory issues, kidney damage, skeletal problems, and cancer risks, as well as its impact on reproductive health. The course also covers non-occupational exposure sources, OSHA regulations, and the necessary preventative measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and air quality monitoring, to minimize exposure and protect worker health. By understanding cadmium’s hazards and safety protocols, individuals can contribute to a safer working environment and ensure compliance with safety standards.
