DESCRIPTION:(Adapted from Investigator's Abstract) This project is a three-year hazard surveillance methods study to develop and validate a mail survey instrument to characterize the potential for employee exposure to chemicals at specific workplaces. The mail survey and pre- testing, follow-up, and validation protocols will be designed with the assistance of researchers from the Rutgers University-based Center for Public1 Interest Polling within the Eagleton Institute. The project's main objective is to determine if a mail survey of employers reporting the use of chemicals with comprehensive 6(b) OSHA standards on their Community Right to Know (CRTK) Survey will generate estimates of potential occupational exposures to these chemicals useful to prioritize specific workplaces for a variety of possible interventions. The survey will target approximately 1,000 workplaces reporting the use of at least 100 pounds of one or more of twenty-four chemicals for which the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has promulgated comprehensive standards under Section 6(b) of the OSH Act. All of these chemicals are classified as carcinogens by either the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) or OSHA. Reports of chemical use or release will be obtained from the 1997 CRTK Survey and the 1996 Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). CRTK Survey data for 1996 shows almost 2,000 reports of at least 100 pounds of one of the OSHA 6(b) chemicals among 1,038 employers in the private sector, both manufacturing and non-manufacturing. Telephone follow-up will be conducted with survey non-responders and incomplete responders. A stratified random sample of survey results, including pounds of the specific chemical used per year, number of days used per year, and number of employees potentially exposed, will be verified with onsite visits by industrial hygienists to respondent employers' workplaces.

描述：（改编自研究者摘要） 本项目是一项为期三年的危害监测方法研究， 验证邮件调查工具，以描述员工的潜力 在特定工作场所接触化学品。 邮件调查和预- 测试、跟踪和验证方案将根据 罗格斯大学公共信息中心研究人员的协助1 研究所内部的兴趣调查。项目的主要目标 是为了确定是否对报告使用化学品的雇主进行邮件调查 全面的6（B）OSHA标准，关于其社区知情权（CRTK） 调查将产生对这些潜在职业暴露的估计 化学品有助于优先考虑特定的工作场所， 干预措施。该调查将针对大约1,000个工作场所， 使用至少100磅的一种或多种24种化学品， 美国职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA） 根据《奥什法》第6（B）节颁布了综合标准。 所有 这些化学物质被国际上列为致癌物质， 癌症研究机构（IARC）或OSHA。 化学品使用报告或 将从1997年的CRTK调查和1996年的有毒物质释放中获得 库存（TRI）。 1996年的CRTK调查数据显示， 在1,038名雇主中，至少有100磅的OSHA 6（B）化学品 私营部门，包括制造业和非制造业。 电话 将对调查未答复者和未完成调查者进行随访 响应者。 调查结果的分层随机抽样，包括磅 每年使用的具体化学品，每年使用的天数， 将通过现场访问进行验证， 工业卫生专家到受访雇主的工作场所。
