About the course
What this course covers.
Ammonia is everywhere in industry - a refrigerant, a cleaning and bleaching agent, and a feedstock for fertilizers and other products. It is also a serious hazard: anhydrous ammonia is corrosive, it harms on contact and on inhalation, and an uncontrolled release is an emergency. This course gives workers around ammonia the knowledge to stay safe.
The course covers the identification and physical properties of anhydrous ammonia, the requirements for its safe handling and storage, and how it is labelled and classified. It works through the health effects of ammonia exposure, the personal protective equipment appropriate for working around ammonia, and the first-aid measures and emergency-response procedures for an ammonia-related emergency.
Companies use the course to train workers who work with or around ammonia - in refrigeration, processing, and agriculture - and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
Testing runs throughout the course and a mark of 80 percent earns the certificate; the course can be repeated twice if the pass mark is not met on the first attempt. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion valid for three years from the completion date.
- Fully online and self-paced - about 30 minutes of content
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Suitable for anyone who works with or around ammonia
- Pass mark is 80 percent, with up to three attempts
Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation treats ammonia as a hazardous substance, and workers exposed to it must be trained on the hazard, its controls, and the emergency response. This course gives that awareness training and the documented record a COR auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.
