32nd Annual Occupational Safety and Health Summer Institute
Introduction to Risk Assessment
for Safety and Health Professionals
August 5-7, 2009
Marriott Norfolk Waterside
Norfolk, Virginia
TECH EXAM FRIDAY, AUGUST 7 at 11:30 AM.
PLEASE MAKE TRAVEL PLANS ACCORDINGLY.
We will focus on chemical exposures and briefly review engineering systems. This course will consist of lectures and hands-on practice. We will examine a common chemical exposure and develop a risk assessment profile using readily available software and exposure modeling tools such as COSHH Essentials, IHStat, and Mathematical Modeling spreadsheets. Students should bring a calculator and be comfortable using it. Math Review and Use of Scientific Calculator is suggested and will be presented at the Marriott Norfolk Waterside on Sunday, August 2, 2009.
