A very popular, comprehensive two-day workshop that describes strategies for the collection and interpretation of occupational exposure monitoring data. Key concepts from this recent publication covered in the course include exposure groups, sampling designs, statistical distributions, and interpreting exposure monitoring data. Experience and lessons learned in the field will be shared with attendees. Problem solving exercises are interwoven throughout the course and attendees will work through examples that will help them apply the concepts. Statistical tools to assist with decision-making regarding the acceptability of exposure monitoring results will be presented.
Emphasis is on proven techniques, using flow schematics and control diagrams.
Discuss risk concepts, risk assessment techniques, the integrated risk management process so that participants will gain an understanding of the usefulness and limitations of risk-based decision making for improving safety in industrial facilities, learn about available risk assessment methodologies, and a simple risk assessment tool which they can start applying for their own operations as soon as they get back. The fundamentals of quantitative analysis will be discussed in some detail for the participants to gain an appreciation of the available techniques and their applicability. Facility in algebraic computations. A past course in introductory calculus, but a working knowledge of calculus is not required. Each attendee needs to bring a calculator to class for solving numerical problems.
