4 Byron Nelson, CIH, QSTI, INCE My vision for the Florida AIHA includes: Increasing the opportunities for our members to gain knowledge of health and industrial hygiene related issues and to become aware of the latest development of ways to protect the health of workers. Provide opportunities for industrial hygienists to share and encourage the exchange of new and innovative ideas which may benefit workers. Expand the role and professionalism of the industrial hygienist, not in only the workplace but in the development of effective, practical rule making whenever possible. Encourage our members to share their knowledge at every possible opportunity in order to improve not only the workplace, but our communities as well. FIELDS OF COMPETENCE Noise, air, water quality monitoring and assessment; noise and air quality modeling; noise control design; industrial hygiene and OSHA related sampling; indoor air quality surveys; stack sampling; continuous monitor certification; particle sizing; preparation of emission inventories; DRI and EIS preparation. EXPERIENCE SUMMARY Mr. Nelson has over thirty years progressive practical experience in environmental monitoring and assessment and is president of Southern Environmental Sciences, Inc. He has prepared environmental impact assessments and has performed computer modeling of noise and air quality impacts for new stationary sources and proposed roadways. He has also designed and implemented ambient air and water monitoring networks, and managed a stack testing program. He performs noise monitoring and designs noise attenuating barriers for stationary noise sources and roadways, and performs OSHA required surveys to determine occupational noise exposure. He also designs and implements noise mitigating procedures for industrial, commercial and residential noise sources. He conducts industrial hygiene sampling and performs personnel monitoring for determination of compliance with OSHA workplace standards. He also serves as an expert witness in noise and air quality litigation cases. Prior to joining Southern Environmental Sciences, Inc.
