Course Description

Industrial
hygiene and occupational health is a vital component of an organisation’s
health and
safety management system for the effective management of operational risks.

This course builds practical experience for the oilfield, and adds
new skills to allow participants to apply occupational health (OH) and
industrial hygiene (IH) techniques in their workplaces. It includes short,
tutorials followed by many application exercises in our fictitious, but highly
realistic case study.

What You will Learn:

·        
Implement hazard (or stressor) characterization,
exposure assessment, and exposure controls

·        
Effectively embed health risk
assessment (HRA) and health impact assessment (HIA) into HSE management systems

·        
Embed the Human Factors Engineering (HFE) process
into projects

·        
Predict, explain, and interpret adverse ergonomic
health effects to workers

·        
Identify potential medical emergencies and develop
medical emergency response (MER) plans

·        
Evaluate fitness for duty (FFD)
good practices (including implementation of drug and alcohol policies)

·        
Possible causes of ill-health hazards during the
food handling cycle, the origins of water borne health hazards, and preparation
of preventive and corrective actions

·        
Implement procedures to prevent and respond to the
impacts of thermal extremes

·        
Describe the procedures and monitoring required
for IH including noise, vibration, chemical, and biological
agents, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation

·        
Procedures to identify and reduce risk of psycho/social agents

Who Should Attend:

·
