Webinar – Physiological Heat Strain Monitoring: Benefits, Considerations, and Limitations
The integration of wearable physiological monitoring devices into heat stress management plans has emerged as an innovative solution to evaluate heat strain. Employing physiological monitoring for workers exposed to heat can provide individual-level data to allow health and safety decisions to be made based on workers’ physiological responses, complementing other heat stress mitigation strategies.
Webinar – Room to Breathe – Respiratory Protection
In a post pandemic, climate influenced reality, respiratory protection has taken on new significance. There has been expanded use in the public and in non-traditional occupational settings. This presentation will cover the current state, expanding framework, and possible pathways forward to ensure increased understanding for all end users.
Webinar – Evaluating Residence Impacted by Smoke and Products of Combustion
The intent of the webinar is to provide the attendee with an in-depth understanding of the modern art and science of evaluating residential living spaces that have sustained impacts from products of combustion (smoke, char, soot and ash) and associated contaminants likely to be deposited within and on the residence from either house fires or wildfires. This webinar will strive to translate research, observations and the results of sampling and analysis into useful impact classifications.
Webinar – Some Like it Hot: Practical Approaches to Evaluating Heat Stress & Heat Strain
During this presentation we will discuss ACGIH’s recommended methods for evaluating heat stress and heat strain, as well as cutting-edge methods for measuring and controlling heat strain.
Webinar – Navigating TSCA: Understanding Risk Mgmt & EPA Regulatory Measures for Chemical Safety
(RESCHEDULED from 5/23) – In recent years, the EPA has conducted risk evaluations for several chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to assess whether they pose unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. For those chemicals deemed to represent an unreasonable risk in any exposure scenario, the EPA is required to develop and propose risk management actions to mitigate the risks. These actions can range from labeling restrictions to restricting the use of the chemicals in certain scenarios to potentially banning the chemical in the US. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight current activities by the EPA regarding the risk management decision making process and the potential actions that the Agency for chemicals deemed to represent an unreasonable risk.
Webinar – Conducting Legionella Remediation in Buildings
Much emphasis is given to the assessment of Legionella in buildings but industrial hygienists are often at a loss when it comes to implementing a Legionella remediation plan. The presentation covers the principles of remediation taking various technical sources as models. Including ACGIH, USCDC, ASHRAE 188, and Colloing Tower Institute. Ample examples of remediation, including overseas outbreaks, are provided to illustrate the role of the IH in the process.
Webinar – Psychological and Physiological Impact of Heat Stress and Heat-Related Illness on Athletes, Coaches, and Sport Officials
Athletes, coaches and officials are exposed to exertional heat stress which result in heat-related illness in both indoor and outdoor sports during practice and competition. Heat stress can impact the cognitive, behavioral, and memory of these cohorts both in the shot-term under extreme conditions and during multiple events over a short period of time such as a long weekend. This is true for weekend competitions and preseason workouts without controls.
Webinar – Understanding Exposure & Risk Components of EPA’s TSCA Risk Evaluation for Perchloroethylene
Part of Navigating EPA’s TSCA Risk Evaluation Insights for Industrial Hygienists Webinar Series, this webinar will describe EPA’s conditions of use that were evaluated in EPA’s assessment, will describe their exposure assessment approaches, and will analyze the impacts that EPA’s results and proposed ban could have on regulations related to workers and consumers who use perchloroethylene.
Webinar – IH Field Survey & Identification Instrumentation Technical Overview Part 2 – Beyond the Basics
Regardless of experience level, years in the IH field, or current equipment inventory, having a solid, deployable understanding of what makes IH field survey & identification instrumentation work is necessary to reach your maximum potential as an industrial hygienist. This webinar moves beyond the basics delivered in the May 10th, 2023 related webinar, and more deeply explores the science behind IH instrumentation devices.
