Exhibit Based Assessment

This examination will comprise a series of exhibits which may include x-rays, spirometry results, blood tests, audiograms, pathology specimens or the results of biological monitoring tests, occupational hygiene equipment, toxicological or occupational hygiene data, photographs of safety or ergonomic problems or some safety statistics.

Two examiners will be present, one to score on a set marking guide, the other to pose questions relating to the exhibits.  For example an x-ray of a case of pneumoconiosis may be presented along with some air monitoring sampling heads, or respirators.  The candidate may be asked to diagnose the medical condition and select the most appropriate sampling head to use in a workplace air monitoring survey or the most appropriate respirator.
