Ever wonder what all of those long industrial hygiene (or IH) regulations are about in OSHA’s Subpart Z (in either 1910 – General Industry or 1926 – Construction)? You are not alone! Many OHS professionals have questions about these “Expanded Health” standards! These IH standards can be quite involved and, at times, confusing. This can obviously lead to non-compliance and then on to – hazards, exposures, illness, citations, and fines – and no one wants that!
In this workshop we will look at and discuss many of the individual standards as well as the general model and approach that OSHA takes with their IH regulations – there is a “template” of sorts that OSHA tends to follow. A fundamental working knowledge and expertise of this template and approach can help even the non-IH be better able to manage these IH regulations.
Participants will learn both this general and applicable approach and structure common to most of these IH regulations as well as the specific requirements of many of the individual standards. Participants will have the opportunity to “vote” or indicate which of the different regulations they prefer to see discussed and which they are less interested in. You will also have enough time and opportunity to get your questions answered by the presenter.
