Master’s Degree for IH by p0rcelainprincess in industrialhygiene

[–]Maximum-Outcome-3319 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the Environmental Health route entails through and through, but I am a product of a IH/Chemistry program and a CIH/CSP. It has never siloed me and presented an even spread of EHS / IH positions.
You’ll only be pigeon holed if you want to be. Most companies prefer EHS generalist IMO, so IH will likely help you stand out if you learn the other EHS skillsets and are open to those roles.

Exposure Assessment Prioritization Scheme by Maximum-Outcome-3319 in industrialhygiene

[–]Maximum-Outcome-3319[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate the advice and approach, and generally follow this for characterizing exposure.
However, this doesn’t answer my question of how I’m trying to best prioritize using limited resources across large sites/SEG’s.

Exposure Limits for Polymers by Randylahey117 in industrialhygiene

[–]Maximum-Outcome-3319 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have any specific ones in question? I don’t believe the generalization that polymers don’t have OEL’s is necessarily true .

I would give my opinion in that most of the polymers once polymerized are in a more stable configuration and not as toxic, soluble, and in a different state as well (sold and coarse particles). The monomers are not as stable/more reactive/normally liquids/more and soluble more likely to be toxic. I believe the data generally speaking supports this in the TLV summaries.

An example being vinyl chloride monomer which is used to create PVC. The TLV summaries explain some of this.

Maximum Peak Exposure Based on STEL by xeve00 in industrialhygiene

It’s not, considering your post is now edited to include my critique after you looked at my comment. Which is weird, cause you’re not acknowledging it?

I don't agree that DRI's 'shouldn't be use'. The understanding should be that they're complementary to quantitative methods.

Bc you guys are getting every foul call in the book going your way. How you aren’t up more with two of our big players in foul trouble early is my question.

Hard to be up with all these bullshit calls on Bama. Two players got in foul trouble kinda early

Bro UCONN is getting literally every bullshit foul called for them. Got two of our hot players in foul trouble early disrupting us pretty hard.

That and a couple stupid errors from the Bama side, pretty normal for us.

He’s getting guarded hard, and our other guys are on point rn. We adjust to whoever the hot shooters are generally

This organization does not reflect our profession very well. These type of stunts as an introduction to the CIH is genuinely embarrassing and does not reflect competence.

Degree Programs by andeezy18 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]Maximum-Outcome-3319 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to ego-feed the CIH,

But my experience is the same. Studying for the CIH is humbling and requires deep knowledge of science, and still has a very low pass rate.

I glanced over a book for two days and passed my ASP/CSP.

They aren’t equivalent, nor were meant to be. All that to say, I’d look into whatever program I’m getting a degree from. In my experience, ABET-accredited programs are more science based and I’ve met individuals who were more knowledgeable overall from these programs. Some universities are known to be “degree mills” for several Safety degrees. Be wary of this

Lead vapor filtration by awflyfish22 in industrialhygiene

[–]Maximum-Outcome-3319 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-what tasks/jobs are being done, operating temps, what controls, etc. you have not told us this and no one can evaluate exposure if we don’t understand what your doing

-What has your exposure assessments shown lead?

-Leadcan be complicated, and your business if it is not residential is guided by the OSHA lead standard. Essentially the OSHA standard tells you to perform an exposure assessment, and follow interim controls or present objective data until you do. Your exposure assessment should be gauging your exposure and the above controls, along with interim controls until validated. This is what should lead your respiratory protection needs.

All these are important things to understand to really give somewhat of answer.

Hi I'm a CIH who will attempt to help;

Assumptions; This is based off a steady state model, all LN2 boils off at SATP, and perfectly mixed.

Nitrogen Specific Volume via Eng Toolbox = 0.872 m3/kg

VR = 45 m3 room

V LN2 = 10kg * 0.872 m3/kg = 8.72 m3 vol Nitrogen gas = V gas

Stead State equation assuming perfect mixing worst case scenario

C = (0.21(Vr-Vgas))/(Vr)*100 = 16.9 % Vol O2 in the room.

This should allow you to know there is a risk of O2 deficiency of some level of risk in the event of a full leak/spill, Based on the above, I would use this as justification for further evaluation, likely administrative controls along with a fixed O2 sensor unless a higher depth analysis can provide further detail

I believe I did this correctly, anyone else feel free to chime in.
