The profession of industrial hygiene uses strict and rigorous scientific methodology to determine the potential for hazard and exposures in the workplace. This course emphasizes the recognition, evaluation, and control of occupational health hazards. Topics include hazard recognition, health standards, air sampling, ventilation, noise exposure, and temperature stress. Upon completion, participants should be able to identify and quantify common occupational health hazards.

     By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Understand the basic principles of toxicology
• Evaluate the potential of chemical agents to produce dermatitis
• Understand the potential hazards of industrial dusts, mists, and fumes
• Understand the principles of personal air sampling
• Select appropriate ventilation systems for a particular hazard
• Select appropriate respiratory protection for a particular hazard
• Implement an OSHA ­mandated hearing conservation program
• Assist in the performance of an indoor air quality investigation
