ES-2: Benchmarking Your Facility: Evaluating and Tracking
Energy Performance
What
is the difference between energy data and information? What
represents a good energy benchmark and how is it used? An
energy benchmark facilitates energy accounting, comparing
a facility’s energy use to similar facilities in order
to assess opportunities for improvement and for quantifying
or verifying energy savings. How does your facility stack
up? Attend and find out such key information as: Existing
Benchmarking Programs & Tools, Benchmarking Criteria &
Approaches, and Making sense of the data (i.e., converting
data to information for decision-making). |

OSH-3:
An Overview of Health and Safety Management System Standards
ANSI Z-10, OHSAS 18001; and GHS for Classification/Labeling
of Chemicals
Progressive
approaches to Health and Safety management have moved in a
new direction over the past decade; away from a specification
based compliance strategy to a performance based, management
systems approach. While code compliance is still an integral
aspect of health and safety, the introduction of risk assessment
principles and auditable management systems is playing a more
dramatic role in health and safety programs, both in the US
and internationally. The session will provide an overview
of current management systems consensus standards, including
ANSI Z-10, BS-8800 and OHSAS 18001. In addition the course
will provide an overview of the Globally Harmonized System
of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), adopted
by the United Nations in 2003. GHS changes the way we will
approach hazard classification, MSDS and labeling of hazardous
materials if we want to do business with the rest of the world;
and will require OSHA to modify the Hazard Communication Standard
in order to conform to these new global requirements. |

Industrial Hygiene for the Non-Industrial Hygienist: Basic
Concepts & New Challenges
Industrial
Hygiene is sometimes viewed by those outside the field as
a complicated, esoteric world of pumps, PEL’s and technical
jargon. This course will provide an overview of the basic
concepts that contribute to a fundamental understanding of
industrial hygiene. Topics covered will include basic toxicology,
standards, TLV’s and guidelines, sampling methods and
interpretation, control strategies, and special, non-traditional
industrial hygiene concerns. In addition, the instructor will
provide an introduction to nanotechnology, a relatively new
issue facing health and safety professionals today, and control
banding, a new addition to the IH toolkit, especially in this
world of limited resources. |

Nutrient Criteria Threshold Rules: An Ounce of Prevention...
Don’t miss this important presentation on nutrient
and effluent management for point and non-point waste discharges
to water bodies. North Carolina’s proposed rules will
be discussed, focusing on how these rules will implement and
encourage the use of novel management strategies designed to
proactively address nutrient enrichment (as measured by chlorophyll-a)
in water bodies that are not listed as impaired. These threshold
concentrations act as triggers for enforcement actions, allowing
the state to impose new effluent limitations and management
practices. |
