Industrial hygienists need to identify, evaluate and control occupational exposures to chemical agents and other physical, biological or ergonomic hazards. They need a way to assess potential risks, plan monitoring campaigns, interpret sample results and implement strategies to limit exposure. With limited time and resources, it is essential that a solution designed to address these tasks is organized around organizational workflow and easy to navigate.
This solution provides a streamlined approach to storing information about chemical and non-chemical agents, sampling device calibration data, and exposure results. The module facilitates the following processes:
Produces outputs in formats such as:
| Benefits | Features | ||
| Performs workplace characterization | Tracks work areas and zones, employee jobs, processes, tasks, personal protective equipment and exposure controls. | ||
| Tracks chemical and non-chemical agents | Provides preloaded physical and chemical property data for more than 1500 chemicals including those that pose the highest risk to workers. Users can also maintain exposure limits and other regulatory information for chemical and non-chemical agents. | ||
| Assures compliance with occupational health standards | The solution calculates time-weighted average concentrations for chemical agents allowing comparison to occupational exposure limits and regulatory standards. | ||
| Assists in performing exposure assessments | Follows the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) strategy for occupational exposures, enabling industrial hygienists to implement a strategy based on organizational needs and to efficiently assess potential risks. The solution allows hygienists to define similar exposure groups (SEGs), define exposure profiles for each SEG and judge the acceptability of exposure profiles. Users can also track the calibration of testing equipment to ensure accurate sampling results. | ||
| Reduces time and costs | Assists the hygienist in determining exposure decisions and priority ratings to facilitate sampling plan development. | ||
| Enables sampling and monitoring | Documents all circumstances related to a monitoring event including controls, PPE and exposure conditions. Manages sample results and calculates time-weighted averages/mixed exposures for chemical agents. | ||
| Analyze and communicate results | The solution generates user-configurable exposure notification reports for communicating sampling results and analysis to employees. Statistical Analysis reporting is also available. | ||
| Evaluates effectiveness of corporate industrial hygiene programs | Provides a streamlined approach to storing information about chemical and non-chemical agents, sampling device calibration data, and exposure results. | ||
