ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

What is Industrial Hygiene and how does it fit into a company’s overall Safety and Health program and culture? Please join us for an informative webinar, where we will cover Industrial Hygiene, environmental health, and the benefits of managing chemical and environmental exposures.

Our Industrial Hygiene process begins with a discussion about specific needs and how we can most effectively help with various situations. We will help you understand the results of monitoring and how they compare with OSHA standards. We will also discuss the effectiveness of existing control measures including process ventilation, work practices and PPE usage.

With regard to environmental compliance, we will review the types of wastes and pollutants generated from production processes and the quantities of hazardous substances kept on the worksite to determine compliance needs.

This Free Webinar will:

• Provide an understanding of how health hazards can be identified, assessed, and controlled.
• Summarize OSHA standards that regulate occupational health.
• Review the role of the MN Pollution Control Agency in protecting the public and environment.
• Summarize requirements for managing environmental health.
• Discuss how improved management of health and environmental risks can benefit your company’s culture.
