This course covers fundamental environmental health and safety risk assessment concepts and internationally accepted terminology. Instructors will discuss exposure assessment priorities and health risk ratings.
A modified health risk rating and industrial hygiene failure mode and effect analysis methodology were developed for this course. The nanomaterials risk assessment tool will be briefly discussed, as one of the case studies includes nanomaterials.
Most risk assessment tools are linear. To address the additive or synergistic effects of multiple chemical exposures, a new industrial hygiene risk assessment tool was developed. A dermal exposure risk assessment tool is also included in the course materials.
The course concludes with a real-world case study demonstrating how occupational health risks align with the Prevention through Design risk assessment process. Participants will complete an assignment selecting one of the risk assessment techniques and demonstrating a successful risk reduction strategy.
*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.
