Monitors/monitoring industrial hygiene

Employee Exposure Monitoring. Industrial hygiene assessment of surface concentrations associated with a potent compound handled solely in liquid form within a chemical laboratory hood was conducted to assess the potential for downstream contamination potential. Handling operations assessed included dilutions of sample solutions and HPLC analysis. Wipe samples were collected from the following surfaces within and outside of the laboratory ...

A medical surveillance program is designed to protect the workers health. Given the limitations of industrial hygiene monitoring data and the many hazards involved in hazardous waste activities, medical surveillance data may provide the only indication that worker exposure to toxic substances has occurred. 

LVHV nozzles can create problems that may be sufficiently severe as to prevent their use, usually in the form of ergonomic encumbrances and excessive noise. These problems can be dealt with, to limited extents, and LVHV applications can be effective. It must also be understood that dust control by 1..VHV systems is ultimately limited. No ventilation control measure can ensure sufficient worker protection down to extraordinatily low acceptable dust levels. Worker protection must always be confirmed by industrial hygiene monitoring and evaluation, and administrative control measures such as respiratory protection may be necessary. 

Threshold Limit Value Ceiling (TLV-C) The concentration that RDA should not be e, cceded during any part of the working e. posure. If conventional industrial hygiene instantaneous monitoring is not feasible, then the TLV-C can be assessed by sampling over a 15-minute period except for those substances that may cause immediate irritation when exposures arc short. 

Industrial hygiene is a science devoted to the identification, evaluation, and control of occupational conditions that cause sickness and injury. Industrial hygienists are also responsible for selecting and using instrumentation to monitor the workplace during the identification and control phases of industrial hygiene projects.
