Course #1: Topical Issues in Laboratory Safety
8:00 AM - 4:30 PM / Course Fee - $250 if received by
11/23/2005 -- $280 afterwards.
This course is intended as an intermediate level course.
Topics to be included:
 Brief review of relevant building codes, fire
codes affecting labs. These codes impact
research buildings and laboratories. The
International Building Code and NFPA
consensus standards also impact approaches to
laboratory safety.
 Designing labs to meet the codes and Labs 21
initiative, yet remain safe
 Blending Industrial Hygiene and Sustainable
Design
 Handling Potent Compounds in the Laboratory
– What Can Go Wrong?
Examples of the health effects of some potent
compounds will be reviewed.
 Effective IH control strategies in research
laboratories handling potent compounds
 Primer on biosafety and safety considerations
in Molecular Biology labs

Course #2: Survival Guide to Electrical Safety for
the Health and Safety Professional
8:00 AM - 4:30 PM / Course Fee - $250 if received by
11/23/2005 -- $280 afterwards.
This “energized” interactive program will emphasize
electrical safety at 480 volts and less. Unlike our safety
professional counterparts, industrial hygienists are less
likely to work in high voltage environments. There will
be ample time to handle electrical apparatus- circuit
protection devices, hot sticks, personal protective
equipment, wire types, conduit and lock out devices.
Additionally, there will be group exercises and case
studies. The course will teach some electrical
fundamentals and work practices, but will also cover
NFPA 70 E “Electrical Safety in the Workplace.”
Topics will include:
 Guarding
 Electrical Cords/Temporary Wiring
 Work Area Classifications
 Bonding/Grounding
 Circuit protection devices
 Lock out/Tag out
 Testing Devices

------------------------------------------------------------Course #3A (Half day): Radiation Safety
8:00 AM - NOON / Course Fee - $140 if received by
11/23/2005 -- $160
This course will provide an overview of radiation
physics, instrumentation, and then focus on real world
examples of radiation issues in an industrial setting.
Topics will include generally licensed sources such as
tritium exit signs and cesium level and thickness
gauges. We will also cover unlicensed sources of
radioactive metals. Oversight of contractors performing
industrial radiography or radiotracer work at your site
will be discussed.

-------------------------------------------------------Course #3B (Half day):
Effective Hearing Conservation vs. OSHA
Compliance
1 PM to 5 PM / Course Fee - $140 if received by
11/23/2005 -- $160
The workshop will briefly review the specifics of 29
CFR 1910.95 on Occupational Noise Exposure.
Emphasis will be placed on the differences between
OSHA Compliance and Loss Prevention. We will
review:
 Confusion that has been created with the
Revised 10dB (STS) criteria between OSHA
1910.95 and OSHA 1904.10 for recording
hearing loss on the Log 300
 How to determine if an STS is or is not worknoise related
 Review the Workers Compensation and
Hearing Loss Formulae for NY, NJ & PA
 Outline a recommended “best practices”
method for “effective loss prevention” for
noise exposed employees.
