PDC 807: Fundamentals of Toxicology for Industrial Hygienists
Thu, 5/22: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM CDT
P807
Professional Development Course
Kansas City Convention Center
CM Credit Hours: 7
This PDC delves into the crucial interplay between toxicology and industrial hygiene, designed specifically for emerging IH professionals. Participants will engage in case-based discussions covering essential topics such as acute and chronic toxicity, dose-response relationships in workplace exposures, toxicity mechanisms, critical occupational hazards, and the scientific underpinnings of ACGIH standards. Real-world occupational toxicity challenges will be addressed through data analysis and problem-solving exercises. Our goal is to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of toxicology concepts, equipping them to apply these skills in preparation for the CIH exam, consulting work, or addressing occupational health issues within their workplaces.
*Registration includes boxed luncheon. **Power strips will not be provided at each attendee's seat; however, laptop charging stations will be provided in each course room.
• Principles of Toxicology
• Mechanisms of Toxicity
• Respiratory Toxicology
• Reproductive Toxicology
• Exposure Assessment in Incident Management
• Workbook/Group Activities
Upon completion, the participants will be able to:
• Describe fundamental toxicology concepts related to occupational exposures.
• Identify and interpret reliable sources of toxicological data.
• Apply toxicology principles to evaluate and assess occupational toxicants.
• Organize key topics necessary for the toxicology section of the CIH exam.
• Analyze toxicological mechanisms of exposure to identify potential risks.
• Utilize deductive reasoning and problem-solving skills.
• Assess hazards with common mechanisms of action.
• Present case study findings clearly and effectively.
• Demonstrate an understanding of toxicological risks and solutions.
Participants will develop practical skills for applying occupational toxicology principles to their own IH practices. They will utilize their understanding of to effectively use ACGIH TLVs for informed decision-making. Each participant will receive a PDF copy of Toxicology Principles for the Industrial Hygienist, 2nd Edition. Case studies, both individual and group-based, will be used to further reinforce these concepts.
