Advanced Methods in Industrial Hygiene

This advanced industrial hygiene course examines methods for assessing physical hazards and occupational controls of workplace hazards, including noise, radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing), vibration, thermal stress, and pressure. Students examine potential worker exposure to physical agents, assess exposure to physical agents, determine when physical agents may be hazardous to workers, and recommend strategies for controlling exposures, where necessary. The course also explores the fundamentals of design, operation and evaluation of air moving systems for local and dilution exhaust ventilation systems.
