Establishing an effective industrial hygiene program calls for an understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human respiratory system. The respiratory system is a quick and direct avenue of entry for toxic materials into the body because of its intimate association with the circulatory system and the constant need to oxygenate human tissue cells. Anything affecting the respiratory system, whether it is insufficient oxygen or contaminated air, can affect the entire human organism.

In this training aid, Industrial noise and its effect on occupational hearing loss are considered common problems across nearly all industries and have a significant impact on safety and work performance. This training aid covers the components of the external, middle and inner ear and how they function to produce hearing; the basic types of pathology that can affect the ears; how hearing is measured; the effects of noise on hearing and how this impairment is rated.

TIME DURATION 31 MINUTES 22 SECONDS

Potential threat to the Health, productivity, and efficiency of workers in most occupations and industries is their exposure to organic solvents. No one fully comprehends the total effect, yet all of us are exposed and we all are affected. Exposure to solvents occurs throughout life, from conception to death. EXP : 1. Solvents irritate the eyes and the respiratory tract. 2. Organic solvents pose a potential threat to workers health and efficiency in most Occupation and industries. 3. Cleaning solvents can be harmful to workers.

Particulate Matter adversely affects human health, vegetation, materials or the environment. Many pollutants enter the atmosphere from sources currently beyond our control. In this training aid, we will discuss what particulates, Where Particulate matter comes from, what are the health effects of particulate matter, How to reduce particulate matter from industries, Particle Size Distributions, Critical Factors in Determining Acceptable Exposure, Biological Reactions, Sampling and Analysis of particulate matter and also about Analysis of Air Samples.

TIME DURATION 27 MINUTES 34 SECONDS

The sounds of industry, growing in volume over the years, have heralded not only technical and economic progress, but also an ever-increasing incidence of hearing loss and other noise-related hazards to exposed employees. Industrial noise in the context of industrial hygiene refers to excessive and potentially harmful noise generated in industrial settings. Industrial noise is produced by various sources such as machinery, equipment, tools and processes used in industries like manufacturing, construction, mining and transportation.

Non-ionizing radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has less energy than ionizing radiation and is not capable of ionizing atoms or molecules. It includes a range of wavelengths, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light and ultraviolet radiation. Non-ionizing radiation (NIR) is widely used in various modern applications and has numerous uses such as Communication, Medical imaging, Heat treatment, Lighting, Sterilization & Disinfection, Remote Sensing, and Agriculture.

The terms ergonomics and human factors are in essence synonymous. They all indicate the application of scientific principles, methods, and data to the development of engineering systems in which people play a significant role. Ergonomics is the study of human characteristics for the appropriate design of the living and work environment. Ergonomic researchers strive to learn about human characteristics so that this knowledge can be used to adapt a human-made environment to the people involved.

Industrial toxicology is the study of the harmful effects on humans by chemicals used in the workplace, the products produced by companies, and the wastes created in manufacturing. Industrial toxicology is a division of the broader science of toxicology that deals with the adverse effects of all forms of chemicals, physical agents, and processes, including drugs and medications. Originally, toxicology was known as the study of poisons, a focus that marked this science since its earliest beginnings.

Industrial hygienists are responsible for the evaluation and control of inhalation hazards, hygienists typically compare the measured concentration of an airborne chemical to a recognized exposure limit. Standardized methods for the collection of air samples have been developed to ensure that accurate and meaningful information is collected. Air sampling instruments is used to evaluate employee exposure, assist in the design or evaluation of control measures, and document compliance with government regulations.

TIME DURATION 30 MINUTES 28 SECONDS

Methods of control in industrial hygiene involve various strategies and measures to minimize or eliminate workplace hazards. These methods include engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Engineering controls focus on modifying the physical environment or processes to reduce or remove hazards, while administrative controls involve changes in work practices and policies. PPE is a last resort for protection when other controls are not feasible or effective.

TIME DURATION 21 MINUTES 2 SECONDS

Primary objective of the industrial hygiene program in industry is the control of airborne contaminants by accepted engineering and work practice control measures. When effective engineering controls are not feasible or while they are being instituted, appropriate respirators must be used. Respirators work to prevent harmful substances from in the air being inhaled. In this training aid, we are going to discuss where is Respiratory Protection Used, Class of Respirator, Respiratory Protective Programs, Respirator Selection and also about Respirator Fit Testing.
