OHTA 505: CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
To detail how occupational exposure to hazardous substances occurs, and to present the various control strategies and engineering solutions available for reducing exposure and ultimately minimizing health risks.
Learning Outcomes
On completing this course successfully, the student will be able to:
- Analyze the generation of airborne contaminants from industrial processes, its influence on control strategy development, and methods for optimizing control solutions.
- Apply the hierarchy of control to evaluate and select appropriate risk reduction strategies for implementation.
- Define the concept of “adequate control,” especially concerning individual (personal) occupational exposures.
- Evaluate the critical role of design considerations (workplace layout, processes, and plant equipment) in minimizing occupational exposures.
- Explain the main components of a local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system, provide examples of common setups, and outline the necessary measurements for assessing its operational effectiveness and adherence to design specifications.
- Identify the limitations of LEV hoods and enclosures and describe techniques to maximize their effectiveness.
- Detail the effective implementation and management of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Understand the potential impact of control measures on other workplace hazards, emphasizing the necessity of a holistic approach in designing control solutions.
