Control Banding is
a “do it yourself” chemical risk management model that has received
international acclaim. Connecticut is one of the first states to
provide training on how to use this control focused tool. Control
Banding is an innovative approach that builds on health and safety
committees’ expertise and experience to identify and remedy workplace
hazards. The model can be used to complement the traditional air
sampling approach to risk assessment. Through several “hands on”
interactive activities workshop participants will learn how to use the
model so that limited health and safety dollars can be directed to
exposure controls.
