Description
This session presents the Sample Strategies Industrial Hygiene Modeler (SIHM), an open source tool designed to model various sample strategies through an intuitive interface. It allows users to test the performance of existing and custom sample strategies against theoretical exposure profiles, which can be used in outreach, training, and program development. SIHM generates four key outputs for the user: a simulated exposure dot plot, sample and simulated exposure summary statistics, meters showing the percentage of simulation results above and below the strategy criteria, and a histogram of all simulation strategy criteria values. This session describes the intended purpose of the tool, the development process, and explanation of features.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion, the participant will be able to:
• Generate theoretical exposure profiles such as acceptable/unacceptable exposures using exceedance fraction and GSD.
• Compare the performance of different sample strategies to optimize a sample approach.
• Design an effective sample strategy and encourage the use of more robust approaches.
• Generate theoretical exposure profiles such as acceptable/unacceptable exposures using exceedance fraction and GSD.
• Compare the performance of different sample strategies to optimize a sample approach.
