Protecting Workers' Reproductive and Developmental Health (AIHce EXP 2021 OnDemand)
Course Description:
Recorded at AIHce EXP 2021

This interactive session will provide S&H professionals with the basic concepts needed to develop and execute a reproductive and developmental hazard assessment (RDHA). Reproductive and developmental hazard assessments are critical hazard identification and control plans used to prevent adverse health effects in both male and female reproductive systems. Using selected (privacy-protected) employee scenarios, attendees will have the opportunity to conduct a RDHA for a chemical manufacturing facility. This presentation will discuss: 1) a framework for evaluating exposures to reproductive and developmental toxicants; 2) basic reproductive and developmental toxicology concepts; 3) ergonomic issues as an important component of the RDHA; and 4) controlling these hazards based on real-life examples. Finally, attendees will be provided with a technical framework for executing and ultimately communicating the hazards and controls in the RDHA with the employee, human resources and the employee's personal physician.

Upon completion of the session, the participant will be able to:
  • Review basic reproductive and developmental toxicology concepts.
  • Discuss a Reproductive and Developmental Hazard Assessment.
  • Identity reproductive and developmental toxicants.
  • Analyze the basic ergonomic issues experienced in pregnancy.
  • Provide communication strategies for RDHA's recommendations.
  • Communicate these strategies to employees, HR, and medical providers.
  • Summarize a real-life example of an RDHA.
