SUMMARY:How to Keep Your Workers and Facility Safe When Using and Storing Hazardous Materials
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrint\n\n\n\nThe use and storage of hazardous materials in any structure can introduce facilities to several regulatory and permitting requirements.  One of the most overlooked requirements is how hazardous materials utilization impacts the Building Code occupancy classification of a facility. \nModel building codes in the United States establish strict requirements for hazardous materials through the occupancy classification process.  These codes rely on the accurate determination of Group H Occupancy designation to ensure proper building features are provided for occupant\, facility\, and emergency responder safety.  Building codes don’t require the classification of every hazardous material use as a high-hazard occupancy\, but rather apply thresholds that divide any traditional occupancy groups from a Group H Occupancy. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the model building codes used in the United States and describes a three-step process to ensure accurate classification.  Case studies featuring common challenges involving modern high-technology materials will be highlighted\, including the handling/use of combustible dust\, modern refrigerant replacement gases\, and lithium-ion batteries.\n \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the Role of Occupancy Classification in the Model Building & Fire Code\nAwareness of the implications of Group H (High Hazard) Occupancy Classification\nUnderstanding the 3-step Process Used to Accurately Classify Occupancies with Haz Mat\n\nCharacterize the Hazardous Material(s) Planned or Used\nDetermine Use Category for Each Hazardous Material\nProperly Account for the Quantity of Hazardous Material\n\n\nAwareness of New Occupancy Classification Challenges Provided for Facilities Handling Combustible Dust\, Modern Environmentally Friendly Refrigerants\, and Lithium-Ion Batteries\n\nRegister \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael D. Snyder\, P.E.\, CSP\, CFSP\, CFEI  \nVice President – Operational Risk Management | DEKRA \nMichael D. Snyder is the Operational Risk Management Vice President for DEKRA.

He is also a technical committee member on NFPA 30\, “Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code\,” NFPA 1\, “Fire Code\,” and NFPA 1720\, “Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations\, Emergency Medical Operations and Special Operations to the Public by Volunteer Fire Departments.” \nSnyder earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Cornell Univ.\, and a master’s degree in occupational safety and health from Columbia Southern Univ.

SUMMARY:BioMADE: Strengthening the Domestic Bioindustrial Manufacturing Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintBiomanufacturing uses biological systems\, including plants and microbes\, to create new materials or alternatives to existing everyday materials like plastics\, chemicals\, fabrics\, and nutraceuticals. By some estimates\, up to 60% of materials in the global consumer product supply chain could be produced biologically\, resulting in domestic economic growth while lowering embodied carbon emissions and reducing environmental pollution. \nThis webinar will review current trends in biomanufacturing with BioMADE\, a non-profit Manufacturing Innovation Institute supported by the Department of Defense\, which is working to enable domestic bioindustrial research\, commercialization\, and manufacturing at all scales. The presentation will cover how manufacturing institutes work\, how small-medium sized manufacturers can evaluate opportunities for integrating biomaterials into their supply chains\, and how faculty\, startups\, and K-12 schools can partner on projects intended to advance US bioindustrial product research\, development\, and education. A selection of BioMADE’s Technical and Education & Workforce Development projects will be featured as case studies. \nBioMADE is a Manufacturing Innovation Institute catalyzed by the U.S. Department of Defense. By supporting the development of biomanufacturing technologies\, BioMADE and its network of 275+ members across 38 states are strengthening American competitiveness\, creating a more resilient supply chain\, re-shoring manufacturing jobs\, and producing more sustainable products without relying on foreign sources of energy. BioMADE is also building a diverse and globally competitive STEM workforce to ensure American workers are prepared and ready to fill new jobs within this rapidly growing industry.
