BSOH Studiedag - Journée d'étude
The study day covers a wide range of approaches related to collective protection equipment (EPC) and personal protective equipment (PPE). The program combines engineering controls such as ventilation systems, containment solutions and data‑driven evaluations with content on respiratory protection, body protection, hearing protection and glove selection for work involving hazardous substances.
Summary of the presentations
-
Respiratory protection
This session presents different types of respiratory protection, comparing negative‑pressure and positive‑pressure systems. It outlines the relevant standards, limitations, challenges and the main filter types, and provides guidance on selection criteria adapted to workplace conditions. -
Body protection (types and performance)
The presentation introduces the various categories of body protection, including different Types. It explains the differences between them and describes how to select the appropriate type according to the nature of the risks. Some of the applicable standards are also briefly addressed. -
Exposure to chemotherapy drugs (glove selection and permeation testing)
This session discusses the potential exposure risks for individuals preparing or handling chemotherapy drugs. It explains how permeation tests are carried out, how the results can be interpreted and how they support the selection of suitable gloves for such tasks. -
Containment approaches for solid materials with different OEL levels
The presentation describes the handling of solid materials with occupational exposure limits ranging from 0.1 µg/m³ to 1000 µg/m³. It highlights the combined use of ventilation, containment strategies and PPE to maintain appropriate control measures in different operational settings. -
Ventilation engineering in industrial workshops
Based on practical examples from workshop environments, the session covers the assessment and follow‑up of exhaust ventilation systems used as primary engineering controls for airborne contaminants. It also clarifies the function and responsibilities of occupational hygiene roles within these processes. -
Data‑driven hearing protection
This presentation explains how measurement data, user behavior and individual risk profiles can be combined to strengthen hearing protection strategies. The approach supports more precise analysis, targeted improvement actions and better alignment between exposure levels and protective measures.
