#Safety2016 officially starts tomorrow, June 26, 2016, but we have been busy scoping out the Georgia World Congress Center , CNN Center, and the Omni Hote l here in Atlanta, GA. Piper Pangolin had a photo op with the "Conanolphin" or "Conanopoise." We are working on a "trailer" video for the Safety 2017 conference and a recap video of our experiences at #Safety2017 that we will post on YouTube. We've also done a pre-conference activities video that we'll be posting shortly. We are excited to attend the House of Delegates tomorrow. We will probably attend the WISE networking event on Sunday and the Combined Practice Specialties meeting on Monday, representing the Industrial Hygiene Practice Specialty .

To regain my sense of self and creativity, I decided to draw a congratulatory manga about passing the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) exam last week.  Here's the pencil sketch version: Pencil sketch of "Industrious Hygienist vs. CSP Exam" Here's the fully inked version: Ink (black and white) version of "Industrious Hygienist vs. CSP Exam" I'm particularly proud of the left hand middle panel ("Just freaking relax already!") because the ink work turned out really crisp and it has a lot of emotion. Below is the full color version of the manga, with Safety 2016  (#Safety2016) coloring on the right-hand side, since that is the next "beast" I plan to conquer. Full color version of "Industrious Hygienist vs. CSP" - See you at Safety 2016! My colleague/friend/mentor also brought me some lovely flowers in celebration of passing the CSP exam, so I thought I would showcase her creativity and kindness as well. Flowers with card: Cr...

Dear loyal readers, Thanks for your patience during the long delay between posts. I have great news � I passed the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) exam yesterday! I�m working on a celebratory manga, but in the meantime, I�d like to pass along my study tips for this difficult exam. I started studying for the exam in October 2015, when I took the Bowen EHS CSP Online Review Course . This course was immensely helpful in helping me identify where I needed to focus my self-study efforts. Based on the various topics and final exam, I identified my weak spots as: risk analysis, statistics, physics, radiation, and fire protection. Reference sources that I reviewed and found useful: Safety and Health for Engineers (new 3rd edition just released May 2016) The Safety Professional�s Handbook Occupational Safety Calculations: A Professional Reference Concise Guide to Workplace Safety and Health Safety Management: A Human Approach Advanced Safety Management: Focusing on Z10 and Serious Injury ...
