ACGIH offers courses in industrial ventilation and useful equations

June 16, 2010—ACGIH, a member-based organization that advances occupational and environmental health, is offering two continuing education courses in September. One is called Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation and the other is Practical Applications of Useful Equations.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation, scheduled for September 13-15, 2010, at the Professional Learning Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, will cover both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:

• The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air;

• Industrial process exhaust systems;

• Make-up and supply air ventilation systems;

• Dilution ventilation systems;

• Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, fans, stacks, and air cleaners; and

• Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems.

Practical Applications of Useful Equations, scheduled for September 16-17, 2010, at the same location, will teach participants to:

• Understand the basic fundamentals, estimation techniques, and calculations related to occupational health and safety;

• Understand terms and units used in OH&S related estimations and formulas;

• Understand and apply formulas related to OH&S estimations and calculations;

• Use dimensional analysis to generate formulas and mathematical relationships;

• Use AutoCalc Spreadsheet Programs to perform calculations; and

• Prepare for certification exams.

Course participants are required to complete Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation prior to taking this course.

The American Board of Industrial Hygiene has approved both courses for a total of 5.83 Certification Maintenance Points and the Board of Certified Safety Professionals has approved both courses for a total of 2.9 Continuance of Certification (COC) Points. Certificates of Completion will be presented at the conclusion of the course.
