Stories from the Field

Aura Industrial Hygienist, Taryn, conducted Site training at a local film studio, where she demonstrated how to use a particulate monitor to monitor atmospheric fog. She also educated workers on how to interpret the results and compare them to applicable occupational exposure limits. Training the workers on Site allowed this film production to collect additional data throughout the duration of their film production, and to proactively assess if worker exposure levels were within compliance, or if control implementation was required.
