5. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Industrial Hygiene • Industrial Hygiene is the evaluation of environmental factors through measurement of exposure intensity, exposure frequency, and duration. • A Hygienist is a person who by study, training, and experience can: anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control workplace environmental hazards.

6. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Hazards • Air contaminates: dusts, fumes, mists, aerosols and fibers. • Chemical agents: solids, liquids, gases, mists, dust, fumes and vapors. • Biological hazards: viruses, fungi, and other living organisms.

7. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Hazards • Physical hazards: excessive levels of ionizing and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, noise, vibration, illumination, and temperature. • Ergonomic hazards: including but not limited to lifting, holding, pushing, walking, and reaching.

8. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Worksite analysis is a good way to find and eliminate job hazards that may exist on your worksite. • If hazards cannot be completely eliminated, there are steps that can be taken to monitor the situation and minimize risk and control the hazard. • Machine guarding • Changing work practices

9. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • If you cannot eliminate or control the hazard, protect yourself with PPE. • Remember that PPE does not remove the risk, it lessens the impact of the risk.

10. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Work Clothes/Personal Protective Equipment • It is important to choose PPE that fits you properly: size, weight, shape and type for the job. • If you have a change in body type that would potentially cause your PPE to not fit properly, contact your supervisor immediately. • PPE should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced when damaged or worn.

16. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Air Supplied • Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) typically have three main components: • High pressure tank • Pressure regulator • Inhalation connection

17. Onshore Orientation & Emergency Evacuation • Air Supplied • Most SCBAs are open-circuit which means a full- face mask, regulator, air cylinder, pressure gauge, and a harness with shoulder straps. • Commonly SCBAs are “positive pressure” but some are “demand” type which only supply air when you inhale. • Employees must be fit tested and medically qualified BEFORE using a respirator of any kind.
