AIOH 2018 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION BROCHURE2

WELCOMEWelcome to the 36th Annual Conference and Exhibition of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists.

The conference will be held in Melbourne from 1-5 December, 2018 at the Crown Conference Centre,

Southbank.

Our logo and theme for the 2018 Conference was chosen to represent what Unites us as hygienists - finding

solutions to occupational health challenges. Notwithstanding the traditional hazards Occupational

Hygienists deal with every day, the profession is also being challenged by a changing workplace base, new

technologies and a more holistic approach to workers’ health. We hope the Conference will empower the

profession in meeting the challenges of today but also those of the future, identify and provide opportunities

to accommodate trending workplace issues and educate us on improved methods of keeping workers healthy.

The Crown Conference Centre is a purpose built, modern conference facility on the banks of the Yarra with

plenty of accommodation options in and around the Centre. Melbourne is Arts, Culture and Food. Come and

enjoy not only one season, but perhaps all four in one day! Melbourne was voted World’s most liveable city in

2017 a record 7th time in a row in the top spot.

OCCUPATIONAL LUNG DISEASES

Occupational exposures are an important determinant of respiratory health. International

estimates note that about 15% of adult-onset asthma, 15% of chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease and 10–30% of lung cancer may be attributable to hazardous occupational

exposures. One-quarter of working asthmatics either have had their asthma caused by work

or adversely affected by workplace conditions.

Co-presenters: Malcolm Sim, Deborah Yates, Deborah Glass, Bruce Thompson

INTERMEDIATE

PRESENTATIONS!

This CES will be an interactive workshop focussed on designing your presentation to get your

message across including tips for engaging your audience, presenting and designing your

power point slides. The CES will be useful for anyone who wants to gain more confidence through presenting and those wishing to improve their communication and presentation

skills to make compelling presentations.

INTRODUCTORY/

INTERMEDIATE

Visualization methods of exposure can make a tremendous difference in better understanding hazards/risk and the measurement that can be taken. In this CES different methods of visualization used in different situation are showed, discussed, but most important to show how it can be used in your own work practice. The students of this CES will get access to free

professionally made films and are introduced to the methods that are used.

PIMEX is one of these methods and is a so called video exposure monitoring method. It makes invisible hazards in the work environment visible and in this manner facilitates the reduction

of hazards in workplaces. The name PIMEX is an acronym from the words PIcture Mix EXposure, and implies that the method is based on mixing pictures, in this case from a video camera, with data on a worker’s exposure to some agents.

ADVANCED EXCEL FOR INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS

Participants must have at least 4 years of practical experience in Excel. This course is

particularly intended for those creating and developing spreadsheets related to industrial

hygiene that want to make their first steps into the Visual Basic world! Upon completion, the participants will be able to: Use database operations, such as Logic or DB Functions,

sort, filters and Pivot-Table operations efficiently | Implement data validation processes and worksheet protection and use EXCEL audit tool | Integrate objects (scrolling lists, radio buttons, spinner …) and pictures in the worksheet and control these objects by

adding Hyperlinks or assigning macros to them | Create user-defined functions (UDF) for complex industrial hygiene equation using VBA, and integrate control structures and error

management into them | Record simple VB macros (subs) and edit them to fine-tune their actions | Integrate all these concepts in the design of s future worksheet. The well-known

“AIOH Adjustment of WES to extended work shift” will be used as an example.

INTERMEDIATE

Under the model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations, workplace exposure standards

are airborne concentrations of a chemical that are not to be exceeded. Workplace exposure

standards are expected to protect against adverse effects on the health of an exposed worker. However, natural biological variation and the range of individual susceptibilities

mean some people might experience adverse health effects below the exposure standard.

Typically, workplace exposure standard values are decided taking into account available

data. They are generally based on the adverse effect that occurs at the lowest airborne concentration of the chemical, or the ‘critical effect’; protecting for the critical effect is expected to be protective for all other adverse effects. This continuing education seminar will provide an introduction to workplace exposure standards, explain the methodology

to update the workplace exposure standards developed by Safe Work Australia, and work

through practical examples of deriving workplace exposure standards.

SAMPLING ADVANCEMENTS TO MEET CHALLENGES IN 2018

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, total dose from multi-phase contaminants, new types of materials in

the workplace, lower exposure limits, and the need for immediate indications of exposure

levels. Sampling options for high profile contaminants making news will also be covered such as chromium compounds with new TLVs, silica, nanomaterials, and chemical sterilants

including peracetic acid.

LEADERSHIP IN OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE

This one day interactive Continuing Education Seminar offers an opportunity to learn and practice a series of leadership tools designed to assist you and your team be more

effective leaders in occupational hygiene. Since “the way we do things around here” means introducing a consistent approach, you will learn and practice a series ‘tools’ and ideas to

take back to your workplace and use. How do you know if you are an effective leader? What do you expect from your team members? How do you communicate injury risk? It needs to

be interesting and engaging! Amongst the practical ideas presented, is a team engagement

workshop using a glass of beer, a ping pong ball and some chop sticks! The session is

suitable for potential leaders, new leaders, tired leaders or those who have recently found

out they need to work together! Marcus, who has worked for over 20 years in Occupational

Hygiene, will use a series of industry examples to help you become an effective leader in occupational hygiene. This work is a summary of 5 years research and development

with several commercial organisations, Edith Cowan University and the West Australian

Government.

ALL LEVELS

Detection and identification of chemical and radiological hazards is essential to underpin risk based decision making including the selection and monitoring the performance of risk

control measures to manage activities at a workplace including emergencies safely and

effectively. To can also assure compliance with company policies or regulated criteria, or detect deviations from “normal conditions” or good practices. There are unfortunately

still too many injuries as a result of inadvertent exposure to chemicals. In this continuing

education session we will address many areas of detection using case studies to highlight

specific areas including technologies you are familiar with. We will step way beyond a simple four gas instrument to new and emerging technologies whether it be wireless connectivity,

detectors, and decision support software that will impact your profession in the years to come. The Education Session will focus on Existing and new technologies, why to use

detectors, how to select detectors, what do the results mean and what you can do with

these results. These questions will be examined through the lens of emergency operations

arising from an array of seemingly common industrial settings. We will also apply decision

support software introducing new detection decision support software tools that will enable consistent and uniform decisions to be made irrespective of the user’s prior knowledge and

expertise. When you leave this Continuing Education Session you will have more detailed

knowledge about detection including emerging technologies, decision support tools and

detector application to occupational hygiene and emergency management.

GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES –

CONNECTING DNA TO HARM PREVENTION

Modern molecular technologies are changing the way human and environmental health

can be monitored and protected. Research studying DNA modification in the workplace will provide better understanding of how harm is caused and prevented, identify susceptible

subpopulations, and provide insight into occupational exposure limits when genetic

predisposition is taken into account. This presentation will outline the types of modern

genetic tools used in our research and the biological endpoints of concern. We will report

on new results from animal experiments that show stresses in the workplace to pregnant

mothers can change the programming of DNA in offspring and consequently cause illnesses such as low birth weight, hypertension and diabetes. We have a unique underground life

sciences research laboratory in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNOLab) that allows us to

test the effects of deep underground mining environments. We have shown that developing White Fish embryos show significant developmental changes when reared underground compared to embryos grown on the surface. We developed a human cell line model system

to measure cellular transformation to cancer, and using a specialized growth chamber we

will begin to test effects of sub-terrestrial exposures on cancer induction. An overview of the potential merits of genetic susceptibly testing for risks associated with workplace exposures

will be presented. The absence of testing in the workplace will be addressed from the

ethical, societal and legal perspectives. The merits and detriments of new legislation passed

in Canada in 2017 to prevent genetic discrimination will be discussed.

INTERMEDIATE

This introductory presentation will provide you with insight into preparing expert reports,

the assessment of expert evidence in court, and topical issues concerning expert evidence

- What is expert evidence? Are you an expert? Requirements for admissible expert evidence -

HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT

Health Risk Assessment is a way of gathering information that describes the magnitude

of potential consequences of a harmful event and the likelihood that these consequences

will occur. This CES will explore the processes that support qualitative and quantitative

health risk assessment as tools that can be used by occupational hygienists to prioritise the

implementation of control measures to reduce health risks. It will include case studies of

health risk assessments involving respirable crystalline silica and occupational noise for both

routine and non-routine work activities as examples on large scale construction projects.
