Webinar – Protecting Workers within the Cannabis Industry: OSHA Enforcement and Guidance
Research has shown that workers within the cannabis industry are at risk for developing occupational allergies due to allergens or biotoxins from cannabis plants. These workers may also become exposed to additional biological, chemical and physical workplace hazards associated with producing cannabis.
Webinar – Hand-Arm Vibration Measurement and Controls
Exposure to Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) can lead to upper extremity disorders. ACGIH has developed Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) to guide Industrial Hygienists in the evaluation and control of HAV.
Webinar – Ventilation Recommendations for Confined Space
Confined spaces pose unique and potentially life-threatening challenges to workers. Proper ventilation is paramount to ensure the safety of those working in confined spaces. In this one-hour virtual presentation, we will explore the critical aspects of ventilation recommendations for confined spaces, offering comprehensive insights and practical guidance to protect both workers and the environment.
Webinar – Optimizing Respirator Fit Testing: Best Practices for Industrial Hygienists
Respirator fit testing is a critical part of a successful Respiratory Protection Program (RPP). Fit testing may seem like a small part of the overall program, but it can feel like a huge undertaking.
Webinar – The Assessment and Decontamination of an Opioid Contaminated Site and Establishment of Regulatory Standards
This presentation will focus on a case study involving the assessment and decontamination of a residential property used as an illegal opioid (fentanyl and carfentanil) handling, processing, and pill packaging site.
Webinar – SESSION 4 Toxicology Series: Basics of Setting Occupational Exposure Limits and Assigning Notations
This webinar will cover the basic methods for establishing Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) and assigning notations (e.g., Skin, DSEN, RSEN, OTO).
2023 Award Winner Recognition & Virtual Annual Meeting
Join us on October 18, 2023, from 1:00-2:30 PM Eastern. This informative meeting will highlight a number of ACGIH achievements throughout the year and will include a presentation by ACGIH Board Chair Jack Caravanos, DrPH, CIH.
Webinar – SESSION 3: Toxicology Series: Genotoxicity, Carcinogenicity, & Epidemiology Data for Use in Setting Occupational Limits
Carcinogenicity of xenobiotics is associated with chemical interactions at the nuclear level. This webinar will provide an overview of the current in vitro and in vivo carcinogenicity study types used by toxicologists to determine if a xenobiotic has the potential to cause cancer.
Webinar – SESSION 2: Toxicology Series: Developmental & Reproductive Toxicity & Toxicokinetic & Toxicodynamic Considerations
An overview of the reproductive cycle and fetal development will be presented with an emphasis on the areas where chemical exposure can induce adverse effects. Standard toxicology study designs will be described as well as how the data generated from these studies are used for risk assessment purposes.
Webinar – SESSION 1: Toxicology Series: Principles of Toxicology and Basics of Inhalation Toxicology for the Industrial Hygienist
Basics of Inhalation Toxicology will help the participant to understand the anatomical, physiological, and physicochemical determinants of particle and gas deposition or absorption in the respiratory tract upon inhalation exposure, as well as broad concepts related to the fate and effects of inhaled toxicants.
