Regarding our quarterly courses, we are hosting virtual instructor-led Phase 2 events during the COVID-19 isolation. Each offering has a deadline to complete Phase 1 online material. Here is a list of Phase 2 hands on training dates:
February 28 - Mar 4 (contingency date March 14-18)
June 6-10
August 15-19
December 5-9
(DO NOT ENROLL USING THIS PHC TRAINING WEBSITE- ENROLLMENT IS ON BLACKBOARD ONLY)
Phase 1 of the Army DOEHRS-IH Initial course must be completed 30 days prior to attending Phase 2 and is on the APHC blackboard. https://aiph-dohs.ellc.learn.army.mil A pass code is required to self-enroll.
Even though this course has a face to face element, registration and testing are on Blackboard. The steps to apply for the course are:

Under normal operating conditions, all training courses are planned at APG, MD North Campus. Iterations subject to cancellation based on student participation.
ALL ARMY USERS MUST HAVE THE ENTIRE ARMY DOEHRS-IH INITIAL COURSE TO OBTAIN USER ROLES IN ARMY DOEHRS PROGRAM OFFICES.
PARTIAL TRAINING, TRAINING FROM CONTRACTORS, OR TRAINING PROVIDED BY OTHER SERVICES IS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE ARMY.
STUDENTS MUST BE COMPLETE WITH PHASE 1 TO ATTEND THE PHASE 2 FACE TO FACE PORTION.
STUDENTS MUST SECURE TRAVEL AND FUNDING 40 DAYS PRIOR TO TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM PHASE 2 CLASS DATES.
Typically the course runs as follows:
1. Phase 1 is completed in Blackboard (pre-quiz, 10 short lessons) prior to attending Phase 2.
2. Phase 2 class room (lectures, hands-on scenarios, written capstone, and final exam) are completed. The capstone is reviewed/approved during class. Once the capstone is completed satisfactorily then the student completes the course survey/evaluation and final exam (passing score 80%).
3. When both phase 1 and 2 are completed, the student gains access to relevant program offices.
This is a mandatory class for all GS-0690 and GS-0640 employees working as installation level Army IH staff. DA PAM 40-503 3-7 a. states the maintenance and use of DOEHRS-IH module is MANDATORY for all DA IH personnel who identify and evaluate OH hazards. This course is designed to teach students how to use the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System-Industrial Hygiene (DOEHRS-IH) web-based application. It has two parts: phase 1 is online and phase 2 is hands on training. The course is designed for industrial hygiene staff members who will be actively entering data into the DOEHRS-IH application at an Industrial Hygiene Program Office. Upon completion of this phase 1 online course, students are automatically be placed in the queue for phase 2 hands on training. Phase 1 of this course is online in Blackboard and registrants must complete the online portion of this course or they will not be provided a quota for the phase 2 face to face training. Phase 2 traditional classroom experience requires TDY. Students must complete the Phase 1 portion of the class online prior to attending Phase 2.
The Army IH Competency supported by this class: Health Hazard Evaluation & Risk Communication
The Technical Learning Objectives of the above IH Competency
1. Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of health risk analysis: establish an exposure assessment strategy; collect basic characterization information (workplace, work force, and agents); assess exposures to the work force; prioritize health risks; implement monitoring and control strategies for unacceptable exposures; schedule and perform periodic reassessments as necessary; and document and communicate health risk exposures.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of how to establish an exposure assessment strategy.
3. Ability to demonstrate knowledge of how to collect basic characterization information (workplace, work force, and agents).
4. Demonstrate knowledge of how to prioritize health risks.
5. Demonstrate knowledge of how to implement monitoring and control strategies for unacceptable exposures.
6. Demonstrate knowledge of how to schedule and perform periodic reassessments as necessary.
7. Demonstrate knowledge of how to document and communicate health risk exposures.

At the end of the course, IH professionals will be able to:
1. Describe and differentiate between the 8 steps of the DoD IH Exposure Assessment Model via a web-based IH Information Management System, which consist of the following elements:
Define Scope of Support & Resources
Conduct Basic Characterization
Establish Similar Exposure Groups
Develop Workplace Monitoring Plan
Characterize Exposures
Assess Exposures & Recommend Controls
Generate selected Reports
Conduct relevant Re-evaluations
2. Enter and analyze data generated in the demonstration model of the DOEHRS Information Management System.
3. Set up their local Industrial Hygiene Program Office in the production (live) model of the DOEHRS Information Management System. This will allow the students to begin entering exposure data upon their return to their work sites.
4. Explain how Industrial Hygiene tasks (surveys, sampling, interviews) are entered into the portable tablet computers.
