Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation & Practical Applications of Useful Equations will be held September 16-20, 2013 at the ACGIH® Professional Learning Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. Earlybirds who register for the course on or before August 19, 2013 will save $100.00.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation is a course that covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:

• The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air
• Industrial process exhaust system design (including ACGIH® calculation methods)
• Make-up and supply air ventilation systems
• Dilution ventilation systems
• Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, and fittings
• Fans and air cleaners (including Fan Laws)
• Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems
• Hands-on testing and measurements

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify and select appropriate ventilation systems for process emission/exposure control
• Measure and evaluate the performance of ventilation systems (flow, pressure, horsepower)
• Design and evaluate dilution ventilation systems
• Design/re-design local exhaust systems using state-of-the-art design procedures
• Design, operate, and modify hoods appropriate to participants’ needs
• Critically review ventilation system plans, drawings, and specifications of engineers and architects

Practical Applications of Useful Equations serves as the perfect complement to Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation. Practical Applications of Useful Equations closely follows ACGIH®’s Quantitative Industrial Hygiene: A Formula Workbook supplied to participants and includes:

• Calculation and estimation approaches related to airborne contaminants
• TLV® and TWA
• OA for dilution, fans, system testing, sound and noise, heat stress, radiation, ventilation, statistics, chemistry, etc.
• A calculations lab in which participants work in a team environment
• At the end of this course, participants will be able 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
• Prepare for certification exams

Course participants will receive ACGIH®’s Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Design, 28th Edition, Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Operation and Maintenance; and Quantitative Industrial Hygiene: A Formula Workbook; an ACGIH® Velocity Pressure Method Calculation Spreadsheet for performing calculations and equations covered in the primary workbooks provided with the course, including ventilation system design; a CD-ROM with copies of classroom PowerPoint presentations; copies of labs and exercises along with supplementary course materials; and course handouts.

This course contains 32 hours of instruction and may be eligible for ABIH CM credit. See the ABIH website (www.abih.org) for CM credit criteria. The course may also qualify for 3.2 BCSP Continuance of Certification (COC) Points for Certified Safety Professionals. Certificates of Completion will be presented at the conclusion of the course.
