Webinar – Natural Gas Supply: Employees’ Exposure to Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials
Natural gas supply company employees in the pressure regulation role have a possibility of being exposed to naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials (TENORM).
Webinar – Immersive Training in the Metaverse
This presentation highlights studies that have been conducted over a 20-year period, showing that the virtual reality (VR) immersive training environment decreases the time needed to teach a soft skill by 4 times, and retention increases by 4 times!
Webinar – Field Guide Webinar
Industrial ventilation systems are crucial engineered solution to protect workers from airborne contaminates. These systems require proper design and maintenance to work their best. This course will walk through the ACGIH Publication: Guide for Testing Ventilation Systems. This guide helps industry professionals to evaluate system performance at initial start up and at periodic checks.
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.
