Health, Safety and SecurityIndustrial Hygiene and Occupational Health Monitoring
Chronic exposure to dust, noise, chemicals and heat causes far more long term harm than many acute incidents, yet it often receives less attention on site. This course trains occupational health and safety practitioners to identify, measure and control health hazards using recognised industrial hygiene methods. Emphasis is placed on practical sampling approaches and interpreting results in workplaces where laboratory support may be limited.
Course objectives
- Identify chemical, physical and biological health hazards in the workplace
- Apply basic exposure monitoring and sampling techniques
- Interpret occupational exposure limits and monitoring results
- Design control measures for dust, noise, heat and chemical exposure
- Establish a workplace health surveillance programme
Who should attend
- Occupational health nurses and officers
- Industrial hygienists and safety practitioners
- HSE managers in manufacturing and mining
- Environmental health officers
