Course Overview
The Introduction to Industrial Hygiene course offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals designed to teach basic principles of occupational health. Principles focus on anticipating, recognizing, assessing, and controlling elements within the work environment that may impact the health of workers. Based on the OSHA Standard §1910.94 - Ventilation, this course highlights the importance of adequate ventilation systems to control exposure during dust-producing abrasive blasting and other operations. Participants will learn key hygiene concepts like respirable dust, clean air, exhaust ventilation systems, and particulate-filter respirators, and their uses in air hygiene and the prevention of work-related respiratory diseases. The course also emphasizes abrasion blasting operations assessing dust hazard evaluations, toxic and respirable particles, air concentration, and §1910.1000 compliance across permissible exposure limits. Participants learn about engineering controls like dust collectors, enclosures, ventilation duct systems, and hardware safety practices that control static electricity and explosion fire risks through grounding and design per NFPA 91 and NFPA 68. Participants will be able to identify occupational health risks, apply OSHA ventilation regulations, and take relevant industrial hygiene actions to protect workers from air contaminants. At the program's conclusion, learners will be prepared to embed the principles of industrial hygiene into systems of safety management to guarantee compliance, preventive actions, and the continuous preservation of occupational health within industrial settings.
