Training course for occupational hygienists at intermediary level. Techniques to identify, measure control and reduce at source health risks from hazardous substances. Local exhaust ventilation design, functioning and effectiveness in reducing worker exposure. Hoods and effectiveness. Impact of other health hazards.

1. Controlof Hazardous Substances International Module W505 Intermediate Level

2. Course aims Describe how exposure to hazardous substances arises in the workplace Build on knowledge of the methodologies and technologies available to control exposures and reduce risks to health

3. You will learn to Select control strategies and optimize control solutions for airborne contaminants Recognize the range of approaches to risk reduction embodied in the hierarchy of control and select appropriate strategies for implementation Describe the meaning of “adequate control” particularly for personal exposures; weigh design considerations in the workplace, process, and plant, as a means of reducing occupational exposures

4. You will also learn to Describe the elements of a local exhaust ventilation system, recognize typical installations, know how to carry out the measurements to assess effectiveness and whether operating to the design specification; Recognize the limitations of local exhaust hoods and enclosures and the means to optimize their effectiveness

5. And you will learn to Further develop your knowledge of how personal protective equipment programmes may be used effectively Recognize the impact that control measures may have on other workplace hazards and understand how to take a holistic approach to the design of control solutions
