Course #1: Topical Issues in Laboratory Safety

8:00 AM - 4:30 PM / Course Fee - $250 if received by 11/23/2005 -- $280 afterwards.

This course is intended as an intermediate level course. Topics to be included:

  • Brief review of relevant building codes, fire codes affecting labs. These codes impact research buildings and laboratories. The International Building Code and NFPA consensus standards also impact approaches to laboratory safety.
  • Designing labs to meet the codes and Labs 21 initiative, yet remain safe
  • Blending Industrial Hygiene and Sustainable Design
  • Handling Potent Compounds in the Laboratory – What Can Go Wrong?

Examples of the health effects of some potent compounds will bereviewed.

  • Effective IH control strategies in research laboratories handling potent compounds
  • Primer on biosafety and safety considerations in Molecular Biology labs

Course #2: Survival Guide to Electrical Safety for the Health and Safety Professional

8:00 AM - 4:30 PM / Course Fee - $250 if received by 11/23/2005 -- $280 afterwards.

This “energized” interactive program will emphasize electrical safety at 480 volts and less. Unlike our safety professional counterparts, industrial hygienists are less likely to work in high voltage environments. There will be ample time to handle electrical apparatus- circuit protection devices, hot sticks, personal protective equipment, wire types, conduit and lock out devices. Additionally, there will be group exercises and case studies. The course will teach some electrical fundamentals and work practices, but will also cover NFPA 70 E “Electrical Safety in the Workplace.” Topics will include:

  • Guarding
  • Electrical Cords/Temporary Wiring
  • Work Area Classifications
  • Bonding/Grounding
  • Circuit protection devices
  • Lock out/Tag out
  • Testing Devices

Course #3A (Half day): Radiation Safety

8:00 AM - NOON / Course Fee - $140 if received by 11/23/2005 -- $160

This course will provide an overview of radiation physics, instrumentation, and then focus on real world examples of radiation issues in an industrial setting. Topics will include generally licensed sources such as tritium exit signs and cesium level and thickness gauges. We will also cover unlicensed sources of radioactive metals. Oversight of contractors performing industrial radiography or radiotracer work at your site will be discussed.

Course #3B (Half day):

Effective Hearing Conservation vs. OSHA Compliance

1 PM to 5 PM / Course Fee - $140 if received by 11/23/2005 -- $160

The workshop will briefly review the specifics of 29 CFR 1910.95 on Occupational Noise Exposure. Emphasis will be placed on the differences between OSHA Compliance and Loss Prevention. We will review:

  • Confusion that has been created with the Revised 10dB (STS) criteria between OSHA 1910.95 and OSHA 1904.10 for recording hearing loss on the Log 300
  • How to determine if an STS is or is not work-noise related
  • Review the Workers Compensation and Hearing Loss Formulae for NY, NJ & PA
  • Outline a recommended “best practices” method for “effective loss prevention” for noise exposed employees.
