Active Environmental Solutions’ Post

Hi Mary, thank you for your thought provoking article. I thoroughly agree with your overall tenet that control is more important than sampling (those who have had the misfortune to hear me preach will understand). However, in my couple of years’ experience there are far more effective and cost efficient ways (I believe we also have a moral duty in this respect) of achieving improved controls.   Firstly you gave a very good example of a client ringing you with limited knowledge. The person you are speaking to is obviously resistant to anything except sampling (not unusual).  Dead horse flogging comes to mind and you will probably lose that client to a cheap pump jockey. You mention a pre-site visit. Unless this is a major project I think this is not necessary. Would the cost of a pre-site visit be added to the client’s bill, which might be better spent on LEV?  oops ..exceeded max character limit ..more to follow

Historical Note #2 Why was OHTA formed? A driving force to create OHTA was the need to increase the number of occupational hygienists by at least 5 X globally. Another goal was to convert the significant need for occupational hygienists to a significant demand for them from employers. From 2005-2006, a group of senior level hygienists from major multinational companies met to set out options. They were later joined by OH organizations including IOHA, AIOH, AIHA, and BOHS. From this collaborative effort, OHTA was officially constituted in 2009. A global achievement indeed for the OH profession! #OHTA #OHLearning #OccupationalHygiene #IndustrialHygiene
