The evaluation of health and safety hazards requires that the student or practitioner understands the principle of operation of equipment and that the values obtained are properly interpreted with regard to health and safety risk. This requires hands-on experience in the use and maintenance of field and laboratory equipment.
The Industrial Hygiene and Safety Laboratory provides support facilities for class demonstrations on sampling and analysis techniques for occupational hazards and to support research projects.
Facilities and equipment are provided for:
MyoTrac-Infiniti Dual Channel with Biograph software
Air sampling (personal sample pumps and accessory kits).
Measuring air flows (bubble flow meter, electronic calibrator, rotameter, inclined manometer, and velometer).
Preparation of known standards (permeation tube standards generator, air flow dilution system, and gas bags).
