Live Online
10 October 2023
Introduction
Attending this workshop will give you a practical and
informative overview of biological monitoring. You will be
introduced to the fundamentals of biological monitoring and shown
how it can be a useful and cost-effective tool for occupational
hygiene and health professionals to assess and control exposure to
substances in the workplace.
Biological monitoring is based on the analysis of hazardous
substances or their metabolites in urine, blood, or breath, and is
used to assess chemical exposures by inhalation, ingestion and
absorption through the skin.
It is particularly valuable where control of exposure relies on
personal protective equipment or where substances may be absorbed
through the skin. It can also be used to investigate the
behavioural aspects of exposure controls.
This workshop provides an overview of biological monitoring and
how it can enhance the service that occupational hygiene and health
professionals offer. There is also a practical, interactive
learning element using relevant case studies to develop your
learning.
The course will cover:
- An introduction to biological monitoring
