Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

The course is a core module for the International Certi cate in Occupational Hygiene (ICertOHTA). It is designed to be delivered as a 5-day taught programme including participant’s assessment.

The aim of the course is:-

Describe how exposure to hazardous substances arises in the workplace
Build on knowledge of the methodologies and technologies available to control exposures and reduce risks to health.

On completing this course successfully, participants will be able to :-

Select control strategies and optimize control solutions for airborne contaminants.
Recognize the range of approaches to risk reduction embodied in the hierarchy of control and select appropriate strategies for implementation.
Describe the meaning of “adequate control” particularly for personal exposures; weigh design considerations in the workplace, process, and plant, as a means of reducing occupational exposures.
Describe the elements of a local exhaust ventilation system, recognize typical installations, know how to carry out the measurements to assess effectiveness and whether operating to the design specification.
Recognize the limitations of local exhaust hoods and enclosures and the means to optimize their effectiveness.
Further develop your knowledge of how personal protective equipment programmes may be used effectively.
Recognize the impact that control measures may have on other workplace hazards and understand how to take a holistic approach to the design of control solutions.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Control of Hazardous Substances. It covers the workplace control principles, hierarchy of control and designing control strategies; the sources of contaminants, process designing and principles and ventilation systems; the principles of containment, types of containment equipment and designing of containment systems; using personal protective equipment covering respiratory protective equipment, chemical protective clothing, gloves and dermal care; and the administrative elements and practical applications of control strategies.
