OSX 995 • Advanced Industrial Hygiene
Course Description
This course prepares the individual to understand the fundamental principles and concepts of recognition, evaluation, and control of physical, chemical, and biological health hazards arising in, or from the occupational environment. Students will be able to use these concepts in an occupational environment for the purpose of accident prevention and hazard identification and/or control in an industrial setting.
The course studies quantitative methods of occupational hazard’s evaluation and control based on OSHA required calculations of TLVs limiting exposure to toxic substances, exhaust and general ventilation, industrial noise, ionizing and nonionizing radiation, etc.
This course will assist in preparing for ASP/CSP exam, given that Board of Certified Safety Professionals requirements include aspects of industrial hygiene.
