Odessa College Industrial Hygiene Plan Case Study

Description

As a local Industrial Hygienist, you have been contracted to re-establish a necessary inhabitable work environment to remediate the Arkema Chemical Plant following the recession of the waters from Hurricane Harvey and the fire. Write a plan that includes guidance for safe entry and clean-up procedures for all recovery workers. The plan should include a hazard assessment for the most critical items or operations that can cause acute or chronic health effects, illnesses, or diseases. This contract requires that the Industrial Hygienist remain on-site during the remediation process; however, the plan should answer the bulk of the team’s questions before arriving at the site.

** Remember – the team will be conducting remediation of debris, chemical, etc. after the recession of the floodwaters caused by Hurricane Harvey.**

Do not limit yourself to these resources – these are here to get you started.
