W501 - Measurement of Haz Substances Substances
Description
COURSE
AIM
To provide the
student with a sound understanding of the techniques for assessing exposure to
hazardous substances in the workplace and with an understanding of how exposure
information can be used to assess risk.
LEARNING OUTCOME
On completing this course successfully, the
student will be able to:
ü describe the
general approach to health risk assessment, including the role of atmospheric monitoring;
ü select
appropriate equipment to measure specific airborne contaminants and devise a
suitable sampling strategy;
ü present the
results in a form useful for health risk assessment purposes to enable
management to comply with relevant legislation.
COURSE FORMAT
Ø 4+4 days course [minimum 40 hours
including practical/demonstration sessions, lectures, tutorials, guided
reading, overnight questions and examination].
Ø There will be a 40 short answer questions
“open book” examination with an allowed time of 120 minutes.
Ø Practical Studies and Demonstration:
o The Setting up sampling train
o Calibration of sampling pumps for
§ dust sampling (Inhalable Dust and
Respirable Dust) using filters and
§ vapour sampling using charcoal tubes
respectively.
o Practical demonstration and
limitations of air sampling and gravimetric analysis.
