Fallout dust monitoring theory 2. Fallout dust monitoring practical 3. Fallout Dust Monitoring Reporting The fallout dust monitoring section of the course aims to train the trainees so that they are able to do the following. 1. Understand what fallout dust monitoring achieves and what is collected. This will include discussion around the legislative requirements and will also address the possible influences of dust sensitive areas like communities, hospitals, farms, and recreational areas. 2. Prepare buckets, transport buckets and change buckets in the Fallout Dust Monitoring units. 3. Filter the bucket contents using a filter bench and using the related equipment used in the filtering process. This includes advice on how to minimise the filtering time and what can be done when samples are taking very long to filter. 4. Understand how to calculate the fallout dust monitoring results in mg/m2/day and how to interpret these results. 5. Report writing and presentation options for the results will also be discussed. 6. Some computer training may also be included in the course if required. 7. Access to our software for processing of the fallout dust data will also be included after the course. This can be used to simplify the data collection and report writing and will also provide a database of the fallout dust levels over the years. The course will be presented by Christopher Loans who is a Professional Chemical Engineer with a Masters in Occupational Hygiene focused on the Mining Industry.
