M103
On successful completion of this module the student should be able to:
· describe the hazards from chemicals used in industrial processes and what control
methods can be applied to minimise any risk;
· recognise the range of approaches to workplace control and select appropriate
Strategies for implementation;
· describe the meaning of “adequate control”, particularly in relation to personal
Exposures and appreciate the philosophy behind the hierarchy of control;
· discuss the importance of design considerations in terms of the workplace, process,
And plant, as a means of reducing occupational exposures;
· describe the principal elements of a local exhaust ventilation system, give examples
of typical installations and know how to carry out the necessary measurements to
see whether a local exhaust ventilation system is effective and operating to the
design specification;
· describe how personal protective equipment programmes may be used in an effective
manner
W505
On successful completion of this module the student should be able to:
- describe how airborne contaminants are generated by industrial processes, how this impacts on the control strategy, and how control solutions can thereby be optimised
- recognise the range of approaches to risk reduction embodied in the hierarchy of control and select appropriate strategies for implementation;
- describe the meaning of ―adequate control‖, particularly in relation to personal exposures ;
- discuss the importance of design considerations in terms of the workplace, process, and plant, as a means of reducing occupational exposures;
- describe the principal elements of a local exhaust ventilation system, give examples of typical installations and know how to carry out the necessary measurements to assess whether a local exhaust ventilation system is effective and operating to the design specification;
- recognise the limitations of local exhaust hoods and enclosures and the means to optimise their effectiveness
- describe how personal protective equipment programmes may be used in an effective manner.
- recognise the impact that control measures may have on other workplace hazards and understand the need to take a holistic approach to the design of control solutions.
