| This is a course for OHS
resource personnel who find themselves responsible for occupational hygiene issues in
their organizations. This course is designed for those that want a good
understanding of occupational hygiene principles, methods, technologies, standards, and
the marketplace. The curriculum focuses on exposure assessment, selected aspects of
ventilation, respiratory protection, and developing basic skills in the use of
occupational hygiene instrumentation to competently manage common occupational hygiene
investigations. Some prior experience and training in occupational health and safety
and mathematical skills at a senior high school level is recommended. Registrants
must have WSIB coverage through their employer and must wear safety eyewear and a lab coat
for the laboratory portion. At the
end of the course, the participant should... |
| • |
Have the
ability to recognize, and describe appropriate courses of action to address several common
occupational hygiene issues and problems. |
| • |
Understand, and
be able to use, a set of decision-logic diagrams for identification, evaluation and
control of a number of common industrial hygiene scenarios. |
| • |
Be able to
calibrate and use basic integrative and direct reading air sampling and noise monitoring
instrumentation. |
| • |
Know how to
select and obtain direct reading air sampling instrumentation for common chemical
contaminants. |
| • |
Understand the
principles and methods for calculating human inhalation exposures to chemical agents and
comparing exposures against exposure standards and limits. |

workplace exposures to chemical and physical agents. |
| • |
Be familiar
with ACGIH exposure standards and standards-setting processes. |
| • |
Be able to
gather information and make observations in order to complete a basic design evaluation
checklist for common industrial local exhaust ventilation applications. |
