Practical Applications of OEHS Math,
EIH part II

5.0 IH CM points, 4.0 CEUs, and 4.0 COCs

Instructor: D. Jeff Burton, BS, MS, PE, CIH, President of IVE Incorporated, Bountiful, UT.

Prerequisites: Algebra; familiarity with the IH or OH&S professions.

Learning Outcomes: Participants will be equipped to accomplish the following tasks

• Understand the fundamental estimation techniques and calculations related to industrial hygiene and occupational health and safety.
• Understand terms and units used in IH- and OH&S-related estimations and formulas.
• Understand and apply formulas to practical situations seen in IH and OH&S work.
• Use dimensional analysis to generate formulas and mathematical relationships.
• Use AutoCalc calculator to perform calculations.
• Prepare for certification exams.
• Speak knowledgeably with others regarding IH and OH&S estimations and calculations

Course Specifics: This Self Study Course is a comprehensive and interactive course intended for IHs and other OEHS professionals.  It is an “intermediate” level course, however, anyone preparing to take the CIH exam and experienced professionals will find it to be a comprehensive review of math used in the OEHS profession. The course workbook, Useful Equations, will illustrate how to apply 150 equations to the real world of industrial hygiene and OH&S. Each section presents practical applications, short case studies, sample calculations (both manually and using the AutoCalc calculator programs.)

The course follows book “Useful Equations” which covers topics such as: calculation and estimation approaches related to airborne contaminants, TLV and TWA, OA for dilution, fans, system testing, sound and noise, radiation, ventilation, statistics, ventilation, IAQ, and more.

Section topics include: math, general sciences, cost estimating, general IH, statistics, local exhaust ventilation, dilution ventilation, ductwork, hoods, fans, stacks, IAQ, thermal stress, sound and noise, and radiation. The Appendix includes indices, conversion factors, constants, and large number of charts and nomographs.

This 40-hour course should be completed within one year of your enrollment date. After submitting all lesson materials (in paper copy or through email), students will be sent a Final Exam to complete and return for grading. A Certificate of Completion awarding CEUs and CM points will be issued upon receiving a score of 70% or higher on the Final Exam and a satisfactorily completed workbook.
