Semiconductor Chemical Safety Part 4: Hazardous Gases and Control Systems (US)

Course Description 

In semiconductor fabrication facilities, hazardous gases are usually stored outside the manufacturing area and piped into processing equipment. An accidental gas release can lead to serious injury or even death. This course will cover the types of gases used, the associated hazards, and the safety measures in place to protect workers. It is designed for semiconductor employees.

Course Objectives 

• Recall the characteristics of chemical hazard categories.
• Identify the characteristics of hazardous gases used in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Know the physical hazards of compressed gases and the precautions to be used.
• Categorize gases.
• Recognize common controls and determine their use.
• Recall procedures for emergencies involving hazardous gas releases.
