Title A name given to the resource <h2>Emergency Preparedness &amp; Response Fundamentals</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This course is available in English, and contains 2 modules which are intended for all levels of environmental health professionals (EHP). The modules are divided into sections each being 10-30 minutes in length. Included are lessons on communication for emergency situations and response scenarios regarding mercury contamination, chemical spills and tornados. The first module is titled Emergency Preparedness and Response Fundamentals, with four distinct, but related lessons. Lesson #1 presents an overview of environmental health principles. Lesson #2 focuses on communication, which is a key role for EHP. Lesson #3 describes responding to emergency events and presents potential emergency response actions (i.e., roles) associated with different situations that an EHP may face in the future. Lesson #4 addresses minimizing health implications. The second module is titled Putting Principles into Practice. The intent of this module is for EHP to apply the principles they learned in Module I to each scenario presented in Module II. It consists of three real world emergency incidents. Scenario #1 presents elemental mercury contamination. Scenario #2 focuses on an ammonia release. Scenario #3 describes a natural disaster (i.e., a tornado).</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.umncphp.umn.edu/preparedness/site/index.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.umncphp.umn.edu/preparedness/site/index.htm</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>EnviroRisk</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>EnviroRisk, available in English, is a case-based, problem-solving program in environmental risk assessment and risk communication. The learner will play the role of a public health professional throughout the course. This course is designed to develop the learner’s ability to investigate an environmental health problem and serve as a resource and risk communicator in the community. EnviroRisk is designed for public health professionals, and may include sanitarians, physicians, nurses, risk assessors, epidemiologists, and environmental engineers. Community groups may also find useful resources and a framework for approaching environmental health issues. The course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, and has an optional self-assessment quiz at the end. Upon completion of this course the learner should be able to: • apply the Seven Cardinal Rules of Risk Communication • explain basic elements of toxicology, epidemiology, and environmental medicine. • describe the role of the environment in cancer causation. • identify diverse resources to investigate health status and environmental hazards. • explain the components of a "qualitative" environmental risk assessment. • recognize agencies and health professionals that may assist in environmental risk assessment. • describe a set of criteria for establishing causation of a given environmental agent.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uic.edu/sph/cade/envirorisk/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.uic.edu/sph/cade/envirorisk/index.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Formaldéhyde en milieu de travail : guide de prévention</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>For three years, the IRSST carried out a study to evaluate the economic and health impacts of lowering the Québec permissible exposure value for formaldehyde in response to a request from the CSST. The institute's researchers directed a multidisciplinary team consisting of some ten scientists who mainly documented worker exposure in 31 activity sectors in Québec. The many findings from their work became the subject of reports, communications and scientific articles. The aim of this new project is the optimum promotion of the knowledge thus acquired to Québec professionals. This transfer of knowledge will involve two approaches: the writing of a prevention guide covering all of the health and safety aspects related to formaldehyde, and the preparation of safety data sheets for several activity sectors, in collaboration with the sector partners. Transfer of knowledge to intermediaries in various environments will result in the implementation of more effective means of preventing the effects of formaldehyde on workers' health.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100211.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100211.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
