DAVID WARRINGTONHOW TO PREPARE A NOISE CONTROL PLAN

INTERMEDIATE

A noise control plan is a list of actions to be completed to a schedule by specific people with the aim of reducing noise and with it the risk of noise exposure. The noise control plan follows on from the noise survey report but is often overlooked, resulting in little improvement in exposure levels despite the best efforts of noise assessors. This revised and updated presentation covers how to prepare noise control plans that will produce measureable results. It describes the process from hazard identification, prioritisation and ranking of noise problems, evaluation of control options, through to implementation of the plan. Topics include:

• How to use a noise survey in preparation of the noise control plan.• Who and what should be the focus of noise reduction initiatives.• How to evaluate noise control options to demonstrate ALARP.• Demonstrating the effectiveness of the plan.• Communication and engaging stakeholders.• Ensuring the plan is consistent with the company’s noise control plan.

CES DELIVERY LEVEL - INTRODUCTORY | INTERMEDIATE | ADVANCED

RYAN MILNEA FRESH LOOK AT THE MANAGEMENT OF POTABLE WATER

INTRODUCTORY

The reality is that today we typically have more to do with less resource and hence need to recognise that we can no longer approach challenges in the same way we have before, but rather need work smarter in order to achieve the required outcomes.

A great example of this is ‘Water Risk Management’ which is an area which characteristically has a standard approach and a large amount of available data (which typically comes at a significant cost), however, remains largely passive (dead data) and reactive in nature. If a comparison was drawn with safety, water risk management stereo-typically continues to be principally managed via a reaction to lost time illness.

A shift is required. The CES will provide an insight into the ‘Water Risk Management Journey’ & a fresh look at not only the evaluation of risk, but also efficiencies & tweaks to the standard management approach.

PETER DI MARCOEVOLUTION OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS IN AUSTRALIA

ADVANCED

At the turn of the 20th century, the concept of diseases and chronic occupational illnesses began to develop when the first exposure limits were used. By 1921 the US Bureau of Mines published Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL) for 33 substances, a major achievement at the time. In 1985, the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission was formed. It was replaced by the Australian Safety & Compensation Council in 2005, which then evolved into Safe Work Australia (SWA) in 2009. Throughout this period, OEL were adopted mostly from overseas regulatory authorities. In 2017 - 18, WSA embarked on a much-needed revision of the OES (SWA calls them Workplace Exposure Standards - WES) with 729 substances to be evaluated based on the weight of scientific evidence for potential adverse effects for acute and chronic exposures to these substances. The principles of this approach of assessing risks in the occupational environment is like the principles underscoring health an environmental risk assessment and gaining momentum worldwide. The SWA programme is expected to be completed by the end of the next financial year.

MAX LUMAPPLIED RISK COMMUNICATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED

Increasingly people are accessing risk information in real-time where health-related guidance may not be credible, misunderstood or ignored. This applied program is case-based, structured for audience engagement and focuses on “lessons learned” providing participants with the knowledge and skills needed to design effective digital risk communication strategies, improve health and safety communication outcomes, increase trust, reduce public anxiety, and increase the use of evidenced based information for decision making. In addition to the theoretical and empirical literature and a review of specific case studies, participants will discuss utilizing social media platforms, crisis communication, working with the media, the role of behavioral economics, our biases that interfere with effective communication, message construction formats, and how to apply innovative communication strategies. Participants are urged to bring their own or concerning experiences to the course for discussion.

INTRODUCTORY

The reality is that today we typically have more to do with less resource and hence need to recognise that we can no longer approach challenges in the same way we have before, but rather need work smarter in order to achieve the required outcomes.

A great example of this is ‘Water Risk Management’ and the management of opportunistic pathogens such as Legionella. A shift is required. The CES will provide an insight into the ‘Legionella Risk Management Journey’ and a fresh look at not only understanding the risk and the evaluation of risk, but also efficiencies and tweaks to the accepted standard management approach.

KERRYN ASHFORD-HATHERLY, MICHAEL TUNNECLIFFE DEVELOPING RESILIENCE: THE KEY TO MENTAL WELLBEING

INTERMEDIATE

All work roles can have times and tasks that create pressure and high demand. When a work role is combined with the challenges of time constraints, taxing inter-personal situations and persistent change, the stressful demands on an individual can impact significantly on that person’s sense of mental well-being and general life satisfaction. This interactive workshop will provide information and practical strategies on how to use these insights and learning experiences to more effectively deal with day-to-day challenges to mental well-being. The session will include techniques of effective self-management to boost confidence and lead to sustained personal resilience.

The workshop will include:

• Developing an individualised concept of mental wellbeing.• Gaining insight into the principles and practices of effective self-

management.• Appreciating the importance of resilience.• Understanding and applying the 9 keys to sustained resilience.• Managing the risk presented by the “Slippery Slope of Burnout”• Using resources for maintaining personal wellbeing.

ADRIAN SIMSTESTING THE PERFORMANCE OF LEV SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTORY

DEBORAH DIETRICHAIR SAMPLING ADVANCEMENTS TO MEET CHALLENGES OF 2020

INTRODUCTORY

This session will:

• Discuss the various types of the most critical part of any LEV system, the extraction hood.

• Help course participants to decide on the minimum performance that the main types of extraction hood would need in order to adequately control employee exposures.

• Outline appropriate performance requirements for the other elements of LEV system.

The sampling technology of the occupational hygiene profession is constantly evolving to meet new challenges. This course will review advances in air sampling to better assess the health-related dose, the total dose from multi-phase contaminants, lower exposure levels for worker and public health initiatives, and hazards from advanced materials including nanomaterials. Sampling options for high profile contaminants making news will also be covered such as metals with lower TLVs, silica, chemical sterilants including peracetic acid, food flavorings, and PM exposures from wildfires. The use of technology to enhance hazard evaluation with pumps and other instruments will be described.

INTERMEDIATE

ROSS DI CORLETOPRACTICAL HEAT STRESS ASSESSMENT UTILIZING PHONE/TABLET APPLICATIONS

INTRODUCTORY/ INTERMEDIATE

This CES will explore issues related to health surveillance of workers. Topics covered include; an overview of health surveillance and definitions of some important terminology, development of health screening tests and issues related to their sensitivity and specificity, limitations of health surveillance, implementation of a health surveillance programme, roles of various professionals and stakeholders. Emerging trends that will hopefully stimulate recalibration will be explored with a view to resynergise and rebrand health surveillance and the role of occupational hygienists in this important aspect of occupational health.

This half day CES will begin with a brief refresher and back to basics approach on heat stress and finish with an emphasis on the use of the rational heat stress index predicted heat strain (PHS) as detailed in ISO 7933. Participants will use a variety of practical tools such as checklists and mobile applications to analyze heat stress scenarios to identify the level of risk and the appropriate controls to use.

Scenarios will be presented for assessment by participants individually and in groups, which demonstrate when some controls work well and others where they fail or make the situation worse.

MARTIN RALPHRADIATION

INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED

JOHN FRANGOSTOXICOLOGY OF PFAS

INTERMEDIATE

Despite increased use of radiation in the workplace since the 19th century, the topic is associated with fear and lack of understanding in the community. This session introduces the physics of radiation and how ionising radiation can cause damage to the body. It outlines how internationally accepted exposure standards are incorporated into Australian legislation, and how the principles of radiation protection – justification, limitation and optimisation – are combined with exposure-limiting factors – time, distance and shielding – to develop a hierarchy of control. Challenges facing the WA mining industry in relation to the management of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), including a history of worker exposures and the requirements for developing a Radiation Management Plan and an appropriate radiation exposure surveillance program will be discussed. The session will also include hints and tips on legislative compliance, monitoring of exposures and dose assessment.

A half day preconference workshop in toxicology will cover a group of chemicals known as PFAS. The day will provide the participants terminology, basic information, insights and tips to assist monitoring programs, risk assessment and risk management of occupational and environmental issues associated with PFAS. The topics to be covered include:

• PFAS – three, five, twenty eight or thousands of compounds of potential concern? This talk will provide an overview of the chemistry of PFAS compounds and discuss some of the most important physicochemical properties.

• PFAS sources, pathways, fate. How can these compounds enter a workplace, why are they being found in Antarctica and in Arctic polar bears?

• Absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion of PFAS? Why do PFOS and PFOA have a such long half life in humans but a short half life experimental animals?

• Health Effects of PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS – are PFAS carcinogenic? Do they cause reproductive toxicity? Can they make me fat?

• Establishing control limits for PFAS – pro’s and cons of health monitoring programs for PFOS, PFHxS and PFOA.
