Webinar - Quality Assurance in Exposure Assessment (Industrial Hygiene)

Webinar | 12 Nov 2020 09:00–10:00 Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Major decisions on employee health protection, exposure controls and respiratory protection are made on the outcome of exposure assessment findings. We have learned from industrial hygiene assessment conducted at 300+ sites in 30+ countries that more than 50% of the exposure assessment results are not reliable, representative, or reproducible. This webinar will discuss quality assurance approaches to the exposure assessment.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Sampling strategy – task based Vs full shift, personal vs area samples, 1 samples vs 3-6 samples, exposure duration Vs sampling duration
  • Sample collection – sampling media selection, importance of flow rate and sample volume ensuring LOQ is 1/10 of OEL
  • Sample analysis – gravimetry for API, local lab Vs accredited lab

We are delighted to be joined by the following speakers:

  • Maharshi Mehta, CIH, CSP, FAIHA, President, International Safety Systems, Inc.
  • Ankit Sharma, CIH, LFOH, Project Manager, International Safety Systems, Inc.

The webinar recording and slides are available for members and suppliers here.

We would also like to take this opportunity to highlight that the PSCI recently launched The Link for Suppliers, a community platform dedicated to suppliers of PSCI member companies. The platform was created to give suppliers a space to interact, engage in dialogue, as well as access our training opportunities, resources, and latest news. To join our global network of hundreds of suppliers, please go to The Link's login page. Hundreds of suppliers already have access to The Link through previous audit sharing activity, and can log in as usual. Suppliers new to the platform can register for an account.
