• Overview of project methodology (e.g. country- and material-level impacts, existing impact mitigation initiatives)

The PSCI Audit Committee is now delighted to offer this free series of virtual training sessions for PSCI approved audit firms, non-approved audit firms used by our member companies, PSCI member companies and suppliers. The training content has an India foucs but we're welcome audiences from other countries if the time suits you.

The event is open for registration. The training sessions will be delivered on separate Live Stream Portals – WTV platform suiting India time (New Delhi) at 13:00 to 17:30.

• Day 4 (December 03, 2020) - General Safety; Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene; High Risk Work and Red Flags for Dangerous Working
  

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:
