SIMAC Training is a Danish based dedicated training organization, with afocus on providing comprehensive and specialized training programs designed to enhance skills, knowledge, and competencies for people across the maritime industry. SIMAC Training is committed to ensure a professional development and continuous learning for all our course participants SIMAC Training strives to empower individuals and organizations to achieve their full potential and excel in their respective fields. Who are SIMAC Training?

3. The purpose of the Course is: To ensure t hat all personnel engaged in or responsible for Chemical Tanker Operations will have the latest knowledge in relation to Chemical Tanker Operation refreshed. Furthermore, the course will incorporate all areas as set out in IMO (International Maritime Organization) Model Course 1.37 “Chemical Tanker Cargo and Ballast Handling Simulation” After completion of the course a certificate will be issued validating that the IMO Model course 1.37 “Chemical Tanker Cargo and Ballast Handling Simulation” has been completed. And that the participants have successfully completed a Chemical Tanker Refresher Course. Course Objectives for the Chemical Refresher Course!

7. Purpose of the Safety Data Sheet Chemical Refresher Course – Modul 1

8. SDS is carried onboard to ensure the safety of marine environment and seafarers , in case of accidents, spillage or other events that may bringe the seafarers in contact with the substance. The SDS provides useful and accessible information on the product carried on board , either as a cargo or for operational purposes. Vessels uses chemicals in many day to day operations. SDS is to be carried for all individual hazardous material carried on board along with proper personal protective equipments (PPE) so that in the time of emergency, appropriate procedures and swift response can be achieved in that situation. Purpose of the Safety Data Sheet

9. Purpose of the Safety Data Sheet The SDS provides information on: Identification: Of the product and supplier. Hazards: Physical (fire and reactivity) and health. Prevention: steps you can take to work safely, reduce or prevent exposure, or in an emergency. Response: appropriate responses in various situations (e.g., first-aid, fire, accidental release).

10. From MSDS to SDS (GHS) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (United Nations), changes the MSDS to SDS as of 1 June 2015. This was the most significant major change required by  June 1, 2015 . The information contained in SDS is similar but not identical to that in an MSDS, and the SDS must be presented in a new “user-friendly,” 16-section format. The newest edition of the GHS, is the GHS Rev. 10, from 2023, for more information follow the link below:
