ABSTRACT
To reduce or eliminate any hazard from the work area there are three methods that the safety professional must adhere to. These methods include engineering control, administrative control, and personal protective equipment. As we all know, the best and the permanent method is to engineer any hazard out of the workplace. One way to reduce or eliminate the concentration of hazardous materials from the workplace is through ventilation. Today’s safety professional must have more than just a general knowledge of ventilation and ventilation systems. He/she must have in-depth knowledge. Furthermore, the Associate Safety Professional (ASP)/Certied Safety Professional (CSP) examination candidate will be expected to answer numerous questions regarding ventilation on the examination. It is for this reason that this chapter on ventilation has been included. Using the Board of Certied Safety Professionals (BCSP) examination reference sheet,1 this chapter will walk through each equation and explain, in detail, the use and purpose of the equation, and provide examples and solutions to various scenarios.
