In-Place Filter Testing Workshop
Scheduled at Harvard
The Harvard School of Public
Health Center for Continuing
Professional Education offers
the program In-Place Filter Testing
Workshop, August 13-17, 2012. The
hands-on, practical solutions to inplace
filter testing technology is taught
by leaders in the field. Attendees will
learn the latest air-cleaning theory, filter
testing techniques, and regulatory requirements
for in-place testing of HEPA
filtration and gas adsorption systems.
In-Place Filter Testing provides nuclear,
safety, and industrial hygiene professionals
with the tools to apply new
knowledge of filter technology to their
organizations’ projects and plants.
Wide-ranging ventilation topics are
covered, including nuclear and nonnuclear
applications relevant to industries
including anti-terrorism,
biotechnology, hospital, clean room,
and the military.
“The labs, with their hands-on experience,
are what makes this program
the best learning I have ever had,” said
Judith l. Healy, CIH, CSP, Industrial Hygienist,
Department of Defense.
Upon completion, participants will
be able to:
• Test and certify systems containing
HEPA filtration and gas adsorption
systems for nuclear and nonnuclear
applications
• Verify airflow in ventilation and
air-cleaning systems
• Operate testing equipment unique to
these particular activities
• Demonstrate an understanding of
regulations issued by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission and the
Department of Energy pertaining to
air- and gas-cleaning activities
Special Features:
• Apply theory in interactive laboratory
exercises
• Discuss issues during laboratory
breakout groups
• Operate a variety of testing
equipment
No aspect of nuclear technology is
independent of a need to maintain air
purity with a comprehensive filter system.
The technology crucial to nuclear
air cleaning is rapidly changing, and
the regulatory requirements are complex.
This program provides theory and
essential hands-on training that will
provide the experience and knowledge
one needs to meet the daily challenges
of working with nuclear technology filtration
systems.
