ACGIH® PRESENTS FUNDAMENTALS IN INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF USEFUL EQUATIONS

Cincinnati, Ohio — February 18, 2003 — Ventilation expert D. Jeff Burton, MS, PE, CIH, CSP, has again joined with ACGIH® to offer two continuing education courses.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation will be held April 7-9, and Practical Applications of Useful Equations will be held April 10-11 at the ACGIH® Professional Learning Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. Earlybirds who register for either course on or before March 10 will save $100.00; those who register for both save $200.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation is a three-day course that covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:

  • The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air
  • Industrial process exhaust systems
  • Make-up and supply air ventilation systems
  • Dilution ventilation systems
  • Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, fans, stacks, and air cleaners
  • Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems
Course participants will receive ACGIH®'s Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice, 24th Edition, Companion Study Guide to Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice, Jeff Burton's Industrial Ventilation Workbook, and a pre-programmed VentCalc calculator.

Practical Applications of Useful Equations is a two-day course that serves as the perfect add-on to Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation. This course closely follows the workbook supplied, and includes:

  • Calculation and estimation approaches related to airborne contaminants
  • TLV® and TWA
  • OA for dilution, fans, system testing, sound and noise, ergonomics, radiation, ventilation, statistics, chemistry, etc.
  • A calculation lab in which participants work in a team environment
Course participants are required to complete Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation prior to taking this course. Materials received include Jeff Burton's Useful Equations book, a pre-programmed VentCalc calculator, and course handouts.

The American Board of Industrial Hygiene has approved both courses for a total of 5 Certification Maintenance (CM) Points (3 for Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation; 2 for Practical Applications of Useful Equations). The Board of Certified Safety Professionals has approved both courses for a total of 2.5 Continuance of Certification (COC) Points (1.5 for Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation; 1 for Practical Applications of Useful Equations).

Those interested in attending one or both of these continuing education courses can register online at www.acgih.org/events/course/burtapr03.htm, or by email at meetings@acgih.org. To register by telephone, please call 513-742-2020 and ask for Anita Schmid.
