Topics

On successful completion of this module the student should be able to:

• describe how airborne contaminants are generated by industrial processes, how this impacts on the control strategy, and how control solutions can thereby be optimised;

• recognise the range of approaches to risk reduction embodied in the hierarchy of control and select appropriate strategies for implementation;

• describe the meaning of ―adequate control‖, particularly in relation to personal exposures;

• discuss the importance of design considerations in terms of the workplace, process, and plant, as a means of reducing occupational exposures;

• describe the principal elements of a local exhaust ventilation system, give examples of typical installations and know how to carry out the necessary measurements to assess whether a local exhaust ventilation system is effective and operating to the design specification;

• recognise the limitations of local exhaust hoods and enclosures and the means to optimise their effectiveness;

• describe how personal protective equipment programmes may be used in an effective manner;

• recognise the impact that control measures may have on other workplace hazards and understand the need to take a holistic approach to the design of control solutions.
