There has always been a spectrum of understanding about the purpose of Operator Exposure Limits and how they should be applied.  The range of understanding of OELs and how to apply them has not moved on significantly in many years.

 

This webinar will illustrate examples of OEL implementation from a variety of industries in a spectrum exploring “the good, the bad and the ugly”.

In this webinar you will learn:

• The factors that influence the effectiveness of OEL implementation

• What business drivers must be considered

• Why the holistic risk based approach increases the effectiveness of OEL implementation

• Scenarios that increase the risk of bad control decisions being made

• Why it is important to make balanced control decisions to meet multiple drivers e.g. cleanability, operability, flexibility, GMP, other SHE

• Why it is important to balance potential for exposure via all relevant routes and other potential “H” risks such as ergonomics

• The benefits of a multidisciplinary/cross-functional approach

• Why is it not possible to make good control decisions on the basis of label/definition/hazard or OEL alone?

• The multiple factors that affect exposure potential and decisions about how to implement OELS

• Why culture is an important consideration in effective OEL implementation

• Examples of external influences on risk management
