What is Industrial Hygiene?
Industrial hygiene is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace conditions that may cause workers' injury or illness.
Key factors: Employee exposure to hazards Control for hazards to protect workers

Steps to Protect Employees
Anticipate potential hazards Recognize potential hazards Evaluate exposure and risk Control exposure and risk (Not just for health hazards)

Hierarchy of Controls
1. Engineering controls: Remove hazard Process change, Chemical substitution Ventilation, Shielding, Guarding Requires little or no employee action
2. Administrative controls: Manage exposure
Worker rotation, Procedures, Training Trench shoring, Controlled access areas Requires employee action

Chemical exposures in oil and gas operations
What chemicals are used in oil and gas operations?
How can employees be exposed? What toxic effects do these chemicals
have? How can employees be protected from
these effects?

Exposure levels over the ceiling but under the peak must comply with margin notes in table
TWA must still not be exceeded

Time Weighted Average E = (C1T1 + C2T2 + …)/total time
Total time used = 8 hours Example in § 1910.1000(d)(1)(ii) What about different work schedules?
Varies by chemical Most chemicals: Worst 8 hours of shift Lead: adjusted by hours worked Interpretation – Foulke letter, 1997

1910.1000(d) – Computation formulae
Exposure to Chemical Mixtures Em = (C1/L1) + (C2/L2) + … + (Cn/Ln)
If Em > 1, employee is overexposed
Assumptions: Chemicals’ effects are additive Dose is proportional to C T

1910.1000(e) – To achieve compliance
Administrative or engineering controls first wherever feasible
When those are not feasible for full compliance: protective equipment or other protective measures
Equipment or technical measures must be approved by competent industrial hygienist or qualified person
