W505 Control of Hazardous Substances
Description
Aims
Learning
Outcomes
On
successful completion of this module the student should be able to:
describe
how airborne contaminants are generated by industrial processes, how this
impacts on the control strategy, and how control solutions can thereby be
optimised;
recognise
the range of approaches to risk reduction embodied in the hierarchy of control
and select appropriate strategies for implementation;
describe
the meaning of “adequate control”, particularly in relation to personal
exposures;
discuss
the importance of design considerations in terms of the workplace, process, and
plant, as a means of reducing occupational exposures;
describe
the principal elements of a local exhaust ventilation system, give examples of
typical installations and know how to carry out the necessary measurements to
assess whether a local exhaust ventilation system is effective and operating to
the design specification;
recognise
the limitations of local exhaust hoods and enclosures and the means to optimise
their effectiveness;
describe
how personal protective equipment programmes may be used in an effective
manner;
recognise
the impact that control measures may have on other workplace hazards and
understand the need to take a holistic approach to the design of control
solutions.
