AIHCE EXP2019
narrative created by the use of advanced sensor technology.
This year’s conference will see the debut of SPARKtalks, which are described as a combination of Ignite and TED Talk presenta- tions. SPARKtalks are casual and last only about five minutes each, accompanied by a slideshow. From 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, 13 presenters will give short SPARKtalks, sharing their stories based around the theme “One Moment in Time,” with presentation titles including “A moment in time that changed my life, and why I now prefer to work naked,” “Gold Shoes, Ear Plugs, and Coffee—
Oh My!” and “What And Who You Know...Plus Timing.”
AIHce EXP2019 also offers attendees the opportunity to par- ticipate in technical tours, which give participants a “behind the scenes” look at OEHS issues in the daily operation of a facility or program. On Monday are technical tours of window and door manufacturer Andersen Corporation, the St. Croix Sensor, Inc. Sensory Evaluation Center, and Orfield Laboratories, Inc. Tues- day’s tour options are TSI Incorporated, Consolidated Precision Products, and the 3M Innovation Center, Customer Abrasives Methods Center, and Personal Safety Division. Wednesday’s tech- nical tour takes place at the University of Minnesota St. Paul Cam- pus Bell Museum and Raptor Center. Attendance is limited on the
tours, and registration and additional fees are required.

MONITORING
While gravimetric sampling is often a requirement to achieve compliance, it only provides a single data point, an average of exposure for an entire shift. The TSI SidePakTM AM520i is the industry’s smallest, lightest personal aerosol exposure monitor certified for its intrinsically safe design. With IECEx/ ATEX and CSA certifications, the AM520i allows for real-time exposure monitoring of dust particles and aerosols in poten- tially explosive environments.
