In this third and final volume of the three volume set, Control of Chemical Agents, Jimmy L. Perkins, Editor brings together experts from various fields to walk us 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.
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 offer a strong foundation for industrial hygiene.
