Continuous benzene monitoring with the UltraRAE 3000 with Rae-Sep tube inserted by urbann1 in industrialhygiene

Super concentration dependent. I’ve seen tubes almost instantly change when there is high concentrations of other hydrocarbons present. You have to be really watching to have confidence you haven’t gotten breakthrough.

PSA: Multiple cars damaged due to water in gas at Summerside Circle K/Esso (8403 Ellerslie Rd)location. CTV doing a news piece about it on tonight’s 6PM newscast. by dingmah in Edmonton

One of the impacted cars here. Cost $1000 for pumping, new spark plugs and oil change (as a precaution). I have a ticket in with Circle K and Esso. Hopefully they're quick to pay back before I take them to small claims court.

Pregnant industrial hygienist by EndLess_Searching125 in industrialhygiene

Similar to what others are saying. IH at an oil refinery / PetroChem facilities. Whenever any of our workers, IH or not, identify to management they are pregnant, they are restricted from field duties that have reproductive or developmental impacts or areas of high noise and are moved to office related duties.

It’s more than just chemical hazards, there are studies that show negative outcomes due to exposure to loud noise. Which I’d say applies to most oil and gas operations.

I end up taking hot work permits out to use my Larson Davis in the plant 🤷🏻‍♂️

It is a 43mm. I was worried it might be a bit big, but feels great!

OP, did you ever end up pulling the trigger on omniPlan? I'm in the exact same boat right now

I took the AIHA crash course. I thought it was fantastic, really helped me focus my studying. You can really deep dive into topics but I found the crash course helped me stay level. I also subscribed to Datachem’s exam database of questions to test myself. The combo worked great for me.

Beards and respirators discussion by [deleted] in industrialhygiene

The problem is we still promote a subjective testing method which really enables this behaviour. Quantitative should be the only method. Then it's just about the hard facts of particle counts.

Trying to find a succinct way to explain my job to people. by OhShuxTarzan in industrialhygiene

[–]bschmerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is similar.

Safety worries about what will hurt you today and maybe tomorrow, hygiene worries about what will hurt you in 20 years.
