The mathematical bases of the models are explained, and related techniques of calculus and probability are reviewed. Students will learn how to select and use the appropriate models for different applications. Uncertainty in model exposure estimates will be discussed. Demonstrations and hands-on operation of representative air samplers will be conducted. Classroom instruction will also address the development of a sampling strategy, how to select an analysis laboratory, and remediation and control methods, including the use of sampling and protective gear to protect the remediators, employees, and the public.
Industrial hygienists are problem solvers.
This course will help them determine all the causes leading up to a problem whether it is an industrial injury, a chemical spill, or any of the myriad problems IHs' face in their jobs. Industrial hygienists are confronted with any myriad number of problems a year. This course will provide information on effective problem solving through understanding and utilizing a cause and effect analysis technique. Emphasis is placed on finding effective and creative solutions once the cause and effects are understood by all involved. This is an interactive course where participants will learn by having ample opportunity for practicing, during the course, what they hear and see.
