This document provides an introduction to industrial hygiene. It discusses the OSH Act of 1970 and its goal of ensuring safe working conditions. It describes various environmental hazards like chemicals, physical agents, ergonomic issues and biological hazards. It then covers routes of exposure, the OSHA hierarchy of controls, types of exposures and air contaminants. The document outlines exposure limits set by OSHA, NIOSH and ACGIH. It also discusses regulations around hearing conservation, bloodborne pathogens and the key aspects of an industrial hygiene program including anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of workplace hazards.

Do you want to be a hero? Industrial hygienists do it everyday in the workplace. They protect workers from health hazards that include a variety of dust, mists, fumes, gases, and vapors by testing the atmosphere in which they breath and evaluate the exposure against standards and guidelines. They are interested in examining all of the potential toxins in the air, on building surfaces, those that can be ingested or a combination thereof. It's not an easy task. Industrial hygienist need to talk with many stakeholders in finance, engineering, human resources, public policy, medicine, law, etc. The idea is to identify the potential health hazards that may cause harm to workers, unsuspecting public, and the environment. Many of these hazards involve chemicals, biological and physical agents, radiological exposure, human factors and ergonomics, indoor air quality, toxicology and epidemiology, handling and storage, transportation, research and development, and many other considerations. So if you want to be a hero, contact your local section of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. They can provide the information that you will need for a career pathway from academia to senior business professional.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
