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 waterborne 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:
- Industrial (Occupational) Hygienists who develop and manage health programmes
- All managers, supervisors and those who are involved with occupational health
- Production, maintenance, engineers and health and safety personnel
- All personnel involved in purchasing and managing hazardous substances
