Webinar – Beryllium Exposure Risks and Lessons Learned in the US
The human body works in mysterious ways. For those who are genetically susceptible, their body identifies beryllium as a foreign invader resulting first in a sensitization reaction from skin exposure, and then a lung disease called Chronic Beryllium Disease or CBD from inhalation exposure. While the immune response is still not fully understood, this webinar teaches how the body’s immune system overreacts to beryllium particulate by failing to remove it, leaving dead immune cells in the lung resulting in irreparable damage.
Webinar – The ABCs of EME (Electromagnetic Energy)
Would you like a better grasp of the ever-growing subject of electromagnetic energy (EME), but it seems like a foreign language?…
Webinar – Understanding and Utilizing Audiometric Data
In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the audiometric testing components of an OSHA/MSHA-compliant HCP. Participants will identify audiometric thresholds of hearing in the “normal range,” and identify various categories of hearing loss and patterns consistent with noise induced hearing loss and other causes.
Webinar – Sampling and Analytical Challenges in Meeting Ever-Lower OELs for Metals and Metalloids
Occupational exposure limit values for metals and metalloids are decreasing, especially for metals or metalloids identified as carcinogens or sensitizers.
Webinar – The Assessment of Occupational Exposure to Whole-Body Vibration
Occupational exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) has been attributed with physical and injurious consequences, including chronic back pain…
Webinar – Total Worker Health
This presentation will orient occupational health and safety professionals to the rationale for considering Total Worker Health, and will address aspects of implementation such as setting up organizational structures, identifying TWH safety and health topics, and establishing a process to engage employees at all levels in the design of TWH interventions.
Webinar – Updates to the 2021 TLVs
Earn 1.5 contact hours for only $5! Complimentary to ACGIH members! This webinar is presented by Rick Neitzel, PhD, CIH, FAIHA and Alison Elder, PhD and will focus on the TLV process, and highlight committee documentation produced during the calendar year 2020 and approved by the ACGIH Board of Directors.
Webinar – Healthcare Workers’ Exposure to Hazardous Drugs
This webinar will provide a summary of the literature regarding the exposures of healthcare workers’ to hazardous drugs. An overview of some of the policy changes an organization might consider to reduce occupational exposure to hazardous drugs will also be provided.
Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation & Practical Applications of Useful Equations
“The World’s Best FIV Course!” – ACGIH’s FIV course covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation and related calculations.
Natural Occurrences of Asbestos
Clusters of disease have occurred associated with disturbance of asbestos-containing rocks. The appearance of potentially hazardous minerals often comes as a surprise when construction is not taking place in areas of known asbestos mining. Serpentine is so common in California that it is considered the official State rock, but it typically hosts the asbestos mineral chrysotile, and other minerals may also be encountered. Minerals are defined by chemical composition and crystallography. A suite of amphiboles is regulated because they had been mined for asbestos, but other amphibole compositions exist with different names and these can also be problematic. Unrelated minerals also can exist as fibers in dimensions like asbestos. Chrysotile in homes and farms deposited by floodwaters; dam construction involving fibrous glaucophane; road construction through rocks and soils with fibrous actinolite; and erionite, a fibrous zeolite, are used as examples. Lessons in management can be applied to situations encountered elsewhere.
