SUMMARY:Occ|tober and Beyond Webinar Series 2024
DESCRIPTION:12:00pm – 1:30pm EST\nOcc|tober & Beyond: Occupational Illness and Disease Prevention \nHow can your respirator stop things smaller than the filter?\nLast updated in 2018 and reaffirmed in 2023\, the CSA Standard CAN/CSA Z94.4 (Selection\, Use\, and Care of Respirators) was amended to include a new section on respiratory protection against bio-aerosols. This addition includes a risk assessment for bio-aerosol protection using respirators. Learn how to assess the hazards of bio-aerosols and select the appropriate respiratory protection. \nSpeakers: Dr. Kevin Hedges\, PhD\, COH\, CIH\, Fellow of AIOH\, OHCOW; Dr. Simon Smith\, Retired from 3M\, Member of CSA Committees\, and Renowned Respirator Expert. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Occ|tober and Beyond Webinar Series 2024
DESCRIPTION:12:00pm – 1:30pm EST\nOcc|tober & Beyond: Occupational Illness and Disease Prevention \nCan you assess exposures you can’t measure?\nOccupational hygienists are experts at measuring exposures and interpreting risk based on exposure limits. But what do we do when we can’t make a measurement\, or the chemical doesn’t have an exposure limit? Learn in this session how exposure control banding is a rapidly evolving semi-quantitative process to recognize and control the risk of hazards when measurements and limits are not available. \nSpeakers: Alex Mercer\, MSc\, CIH\, ROH\, President of CRBOH and Operations Manager at JADA Solutions (HSE) + more! \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Occ|tober and Beyond 2024 Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:12:00pm – 1:30pm EST\nOcc|tober & Beyond: Occupational Illness and Disease Prevention \nWhat you can’t see can still harm you!\nSilica is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found anywhere. While safe when used solid form like in bricks\, drywall\, countertops\, when made airborne\, such as by chipping\, sanding\, or grinding\, it can cause fatal lung diseases even when exposures are so low that you can barely see it. The Silica Control Tool\, developed in British Columba\, was revised by OHCOW last year. This year\, it’s use has expanded into New Brunswick. The Silica Tool’s technology is being adapted to other exposures such as welding. Join this session to learn about how the Silica Control Tool is rolling out across Canada and being adapted to other exposures! \nSpeakers: Dr. Melanie Gorman-Ng\, B.C.C.S.A.; Johannes Doemer – WorkSafeNB Occupational Hygienist\, Victoria Arrandale – UofT Associate Director. \nREGISTER
