Exposure and Chemical Monitoring - Beyond IH Fundamentals Course
Building on IH fundamentals, this intermediate three-day course is designed to provide additional training and knowledge in the aspects of industrial hygiene chemical monitoring through group exercises and discussion. Attendees work in groups of four and build on their knowledge gained in the Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene course. Each group is assigned to a department of a fictitious company. The groups review MSDS, identify similar exposure groups (SEG), conduct qualitative assessments, design quantitative sampling plans based on OSHA and NIOSH sampling methods (both direct reading and integrated sampling), calibrate equipment, prepare laboratory analysis requests, interpret monitoring results (SAE, mixture rule, extended shift OEL), identify potential control measures, and then communicate the results to both management and workers.

Electronic Handouts
Complete course materials will be provided electronically. Electronic handouts may be downloaded from the web; electricity will be provided in meeting rooms for laptop use.
Paperless handouts offer participants a variety of benefits:
- Course handouts will be emailed two weeks prior to the course. This allows last-minute and current OEHS information to be incorporated.
- Use of PDF files allows participants to view detailed images and content on each page.
- Bookmarks provide a table of contents to better navigate materials; information will be completely searchable.
- Live links provide instant access to additional references.
- Ability to add comments and take notes in the electronic handout.
- Convenient, portable handouts are easily stored, referenced, managed and retained.
- Negative environmental impact is reduced by giving participants an option to save, transfer files to a laptop or other device, or print all or a portion of the material.
- Electronic handouts are included in the course fee. If you opt to have AIHA print and bind the handouts for you and have them available for you on the first day of the course, there is a $75 fee. For more information, visit Electronic Course Materials Information.
