by Brianna Crandall — January 11, 2012—ACGIH (the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists) has released Modern Industrial Hygiene, Volume 3 — Control of Chemical Agents, which is one of over 25 titles featured in the ACGIH Signature Publications Series.
In this third and final volume of the three-volume set, Modern Industrial Hygiene , Jimmy L. Perkins, Editor brings together experts from various fields to walk readers through the following:
- Overview of Chemical Exposure Controls and Non-Ventilation Controls
- Ventilation
- “Control” at the receiver that encompasses more traditional industrial hygiene features of respiratory protection and skin exposures
- “Control” at the receiver that matures our thinking to encompass quality training, risk communication and behavioral-based safety, and
- “Control” that truly stretches our approaches with risk management systems, managing with limited data, control banding and the newer European Union REACH requirements.
- Ventilation
As in Volumes 1 and 2, the purpose of this volume is to try to bridge the gap between the classroom and the practice setting, and to offer a strong foundation for industrial hygiene.
The Modern Industrial Hygiene series may be purchased online in multi-volume sets at a discount from the ACGIH Store. It includes Modern Industrial Hygiene, Volume 1 — Recognition and Evaluation of Chemical Agents, 2nd Edition and Modern Industrial Hygiene, Volume 2 — Biological Aspects.
ACGIH is a member-based organization that advances occupational and environmental health, in part through the publication of approximately 400 titles relative to occupational and environmental health and safety, including the renowned TLVs (Threshold Limit Values) and BEIs (Biological Exposure Indices).
