AIOH 2019 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION BROCHURE
In this highly impactful CES, Rene Rodriguez will break down the
neuroscience of influence. He will personally guide you through
step-by-step methodologies to create influence from the front of
the room, in meetings and one-on-one. You will learn and put into
practice Rene’s proprietary 3-step process to become a more
powerful presenter, communicator, and influencer. Highly interactive
and immediately applicable.
Participants will leave with:
• A complete transformation of how you speak at meetings or in
front of audiences.
• A powerful 3-step approach to influence behavior and drive
action.
• The secrets to powerful storytelling.
• Inspiration combined with a clear path as to “how” to lead and
communicate more effectively.
This is a full day workshop organised by the AIOH Asbestos Special
Expertise Group (SEG). This CES will include several presentations
from experienced professionals followed by interactive discussion
sessions. The discussion sessions will be facilitated by AIOH Asbestos
SEG members and will provide an opportunity for participants to
share and learn from each other’s experiences.
The topics covered will include:
• Asbestos from Wittenoom to mining operations today.
• A description and discussion on elongated mineral fibres,
asbestiform fibres and cleavage fragments.
• Regulation, assessment and management of asbestos in soil,
recycled products and waste, including several case studies.
• Consistency in risk assessment of asbestos containing materials
for asbestos registers, management plans and prioritised removal
programs.
• Mesothelioma and lung cancer: What is the risk?
A noise control plan is a list of actions to be completed to a schedule
by specific people with the aim of reducing noise and with it the risk
of noise exposure. The noise control plan follows on from the noise
survey report but is often overlooked, resulting in little improvement in
exposure levels despite the best efforts of noise assessors. This revised
and updated presentation covers how to prepare noise control plans
that will produce measureable results. It describes the process from
hazard identification, prioritisation and ranking of noise problems,
evaluation of control options, through to implementation of the plan.
Topics include:
• How to use a noise survey in preparation of the noise control plan.
• Who and what should be the focus of noise reduction initiatives.
• How to evaluate noise control options to demonstrate ALARP.
• Demonstrating the effectiveness of the plan.
• Communication and engaging stakeholders.
• Ensuring the plan is consistent with the company’s noise control plan.

CES DELIVERY LEVEL - INTRODUCTORY | INTERMEDIATE | ADVANCED

04 The reality is that today we typically have more to do with less

resource and hence need to recognise that we can no longer
approach challenges in the same way we have before, but rather
RYAN MILNE need work smarter in order to achieve the required outcomes.

A FRESH LOOK AT THE
MANAGEMENT OF POTABLE WATER
INTRODUCTORY
A great example of this is ‘Water Risk Management’ which is
an area which characteristically has a standard approach and
a large amount of available data (which typically comes at a
significant cost), however, remains largely passive (dead data) and
reactive in nature. If a comparison was drawn with safety, water risk
management stereo-typically continues to be principally managed
via a reaction to lost time illness.
A shift is required. The CES will provide an insight into the ‘Water Risk
Management Journey’ & a fresh look at not only the evaluation of
risk, but also efficiencies & tweaks to the standard management
approach.

05 At the turn of the 20th century, the concept of diseases and chronic
occupational illnesses began to develop when the first exposure limits
were used. By 1921 the US Bureau of Mines published Occupational
PETER DI MARCO Exposure Limits (OEL) for 33 substances, a major achievement at
the time. In 1985, the National Occupational Health and Safety
EVOLUTION OF OCCUPATIONAL
Commission was formed. It was replaced by the Australian Safety
EXPOSURE LIMITS IN AUSTRALIA
& Compensation Council in 2005, which then evolved into Safe
ADVANCED Work Australia (SWA) in 2009. Throughout this period, OEL were
adopted mostly from overseas regulatory authorities. In 2017 - 18,
WSA embarked on a much-needed revision of the OES (SWA calls
them Workplace Exposure Standards - WES) with 729 substances
to be evaluated based on the weight of scientific evidence for
potential adverse effects for acute and chronic exposures to these
substances. The principles of this approach of assessing risks in the
occupational environment is like the principles underscoring health
an environmental risk assessment and gaining momentum worldwide.
The SWA programme is expected to be completed by the end of the
next financial year.

06 Increasingly people are accessing risk information in real-time where

health-related guidance may not be credible, misunderstood
or ignored. This applied program is case-based, structured for
audience engagement and focuses on “lessons learned” providing
participants with the knowledge and skills needed to design effective
digital risk communication strategies, improve health and safety
communication outcomes, increase trust, reduce public anxiety,
and increase the use of evidenced based information for decision
making. In addition to the theoretical and empirical literature and a
review of specific case studies, participants will discuss utilizing social
media platforms, crisis communication, working with the media, the
role of behavioral economics, our biases that interfere with effective
communication, message construction formats, and how to apply
innovative communication strategies. Participants are urged to bring
their own or concerning experiences to the course for discussion.

INTRODUCTORY
A great example of this is ‘Water Risk Management’ and the
management of opportunistic pathogens such as Legionella. A shift

Management Journey’ and a fresh look at not only understanding
the risk and the evaluation of risk, but also efficiencies and tweaks to
the accepted standard management approach.

08 All work roles can have times and tasks that create pressure and high
demand. When a work role is combined with the challenges of time
constraints, taxing inter-personal situations and persistent change, the

confidence and lead to sustained personal resilience.
The workshop will include:
• Developing an individualised concept of mental wellbeing.
• Gaining insight into the principles and practices of effective self-
management.
• Appreciating the importance of resilience.
• Understanding and applying the 9 keys to sustained resilience.
• Managing the risk presented by the “Slippery Slope of Burnout”
• Using resources for maintaining personal wellbeing.

constantly evolving to meet new challenges. This course will review
advances in air sampling to better assess the health-related dose,
the total dose from multi-phase contaminants, lower exposure levels
for worker and public health initiatives, and hazards from advanced
materials including nanomaterials. Sampling options for high profile
contaminants making news will also be covered such as metals with
lower TLVs, silica, chemical sterilants including peracetic acid, food
flavorings, and PM exposures from wildfires. The use of technology to
enhance hazard evaluation with pumps and other instruments will be
described.

This half day CES will begin with a brief refresher and back to basics
approach on heat stress and finish with an emphasis on the use of
the rational heat stress index predicted heat strain (PHS) as detailed
in ISO 7933. Participants will use a variety of practical tools such as
checklists and mobile applications to analyze heat stress scenarios to
identify the level of risk and the appropriate controls to use.
Scenarios will be presented for assessment by participants individually
and in groups, which demonstrate when some controls work well and
others where they fail or make the situation worse.

14 Despite increased use of radiation in the workplace since the 19th

century, the topic is associated with fear and lack of understanding
in the community. This session introduces the physics of radiation and
MARTIN RALPH how ionising radiation can cause damage to the body. It outlines
how internationally accepted exposure standards are incorporated
RADIATION
into Australian legislation, and how the principles of radiation
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED protection – justification, limitation and optimisation – are combined
with exposure-limiting factors – time, distance and shielding – to
develop a hierarchy of control. Challenges facing the WA mining
industry in relation to the management of naturally occurring
radioactive materials (NORM), including a history of worker exposures
and the requirements for developing a Radiation Management Plan
and an appropriate radiation exposure surveillance program will be
discussed. The session will also include hints and tips on legislative
compliance, monitoring of exposures and dose assessment.

15 A half day preconference workshop in toxicology will cover a group

of chemicals known as PFAS. The day will provide the participants
terminology, basic information, insights and tips to assist monitoring
JOHN FRANGOS programs, risk assessment and risk management of occupational and
environmental issues associated with PFAS. The topics to be covered
TOXICOLOGY OF PFAS
include:
INTERMEDIATE
• PFAS – three, five, twenty eight or thousands of compounds
of potential concern? This talk will provide an overview of the
chemistry of PFAS compounds and discuss some of the most
important physicochemical properties.
• PFAS sources, pathways, fate. How can these compounds enter a
workplace, why are they being found in Antarctica and in Arctic
polar bears?
• Absorption, distribution, biotransformation and excretion of PFAS?
Why do PFOS and PFOA have a such long half life in humans but a
short half life experimental animals?
• Health Effects of PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS – are PFAS carcinogenic?
Do they cause reproductive toxicity? Can they make me fat?
• Establishing control limits for PFAS – pro’s and cons of health
monitoring programs for PFOS, PFHxS and PFOA.

16 The objective of this CES are to provide a clear understanding of

ethics in professional hygiene activities and personal conduct as
members of the AIOH. This is a interactive CES and a number of case
BRIAN EVA, TERRY ELMS studies and group discussions will be worked through to reinforce the
expectations around ethical conduct.
