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

Cincinnati, Ohio — January 30, 2009 — Ventilation expert D. Jeff Burton, MS, PE, CIH, has joined with ACGIH® to offer two continuing education courses in April.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation will be held April 20-22, 2009, and Practical Applications of Useful Equations will be held April 23-24, 2009 at the ACGIH® Professional Learning Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. Earlybirds who register for either course on or before March 16, 2009 will save $100.00; those who register for both courses by the earlybird deadline will save over $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 for Design, 26th Edition and Companion Study Guide to Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Design, 26th Edition, the latest edition of Jeff Burton's Industrial Ventilation Workbook, a pre-programmed AutoCalc calculator that performs common OH&S calculations, and a CD-ROM with Calculator PDF files and manuals, and labs and exercises.

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 calculations 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 and Industrial Hygiene Workbook, course handouts, a pre-programmed AutoCalc calculator that performs common OH&S calculations, and a CD-ROM with Calculator PDF files and manuals, and labs and exercises.

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 http://www.acgih.org/events/course/BurtApr09.htm.
