Real-Time Detection Systems as an Occupational and Environmental Exposure Assessment Tool (AIHce EXP 2023 OnDemand)



Course Description:
Recorded at AIHce EXP 2023

Advances in electrical/computer engineering and adoption of systems engineering (SE) approaches, have created new opportunities for the use and application of Real-Time Detection Systems (RTDS). RTDS are faster, smaller, smarter, cheaper, easier to operate, and can monitor more parameters than were previously even contemplated. To show the potential of this occupational and environmental hygiene tool, this session will present: 1) a brief history of RTDS before the internet, 2) the internet including cloud storage and computer-assisted analyses, 3) what is next including artificial intelligence algorithms from RTDS data, 4) case studies, and 5) hands-on demonstrations of RTDS. The future of RTDS is where these tools can detect occupational hazards in real-time in the morning then with near pinpoint accuracy identify source controls that can mitigate these hazards in the afternoon.

Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of the session, the participant will be able to:

• Identify and control OEHS hazards with RTDS applications.
• Analyze video vignettes on how RTDS works.
• Demonstrate various RTDS tools to evaluate occupational hazards.
• Use video exposure monitoring techniques to control hazards at their source.
